A great way to get your little ones to eat spinach! Kids love the intense green colour, and you will be amazed by this deliciously fruity smoothie. Experiment with different amounts or types of fruit to make your own variation.

Recipe provided by:

Allrecipes

Ingredients

1 banana, sliced
150g (5 oz) green grapes
1 (200g) tub vanilla yoghurt
1/2 apple, cored and chopped
50g (2 oz) fresh spinach leaves

Preparation method

1. Place the banana, grapes, yoghurt, apple and spinach into a blender or food processor. Cover, and blend until smooth, stopping frequently to push down anything stuck to the sides. Pour into glasses and serve.
 

Tip:

If you find your smoothie is too thick, add a tablespoon of milk, juice or soya milk at a time until desired consistency is reached.

  • Tweak: mrsnorris Used different ingredients:

    I followed the recipe except for the grapes. Since I didn't have the grapes I put in the entire PEELED apple in chunks. I didn't have vanilla flavoured yoghurt (too much sugar in that product) so I used natural yoghurt and after tasting the recipe added 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed and 1 teaspoon organic agave (low glycemic sweetener that looks like honey). To make the smoothie colder I added some crushed ice (this does make it thinner).

    Tweak: yummers Used different ingredients:

    I *really* don't like bananas, so I used a mango instead. Also, I used plain yoghurt instead of vanilla -- so to make it sweeter, I used some pineapple.

    Delicious! My fussy 5 year old loved it. I will definitely make this again and I will try with different fruits.

    I thought this was really good! Never would have thought to put spinach in a smoothie. Nice texture and flavour. Thanks!
