This strawberry spinach smoothie is love at first sip. It is ridiculously easy to make and is packed with all-natural, healthy ingredients making this the perfect snack!
Juicing has its place but what I love about smoothies is you retain the fiber from your fruits and veggies which is so important for your digestive health (Don’t worry, I won’t go into more detail than that, although I could since I am a Nurse which means I am NOT shy about this topic. I can be eating a snickers while discussing issues of the digestive system)… sorry. Now I’ve done it. Really sorry.
I know it may be a difficult transition for some of you but lets get back to the recipe. You can make this smoothie without the spinach if you like, but I’ll have you know it doesn’t change the flavor much to add it. Spinach will just make your smoothie healthier. It’s a great way to sneak in veggies for kids who otherwise won’t eat them. Thanks for all of your awesome smoothie suggestions on Instagram. Because of you, we discovered this strawberry spinach smoothie.

Hi! I'm Natasha Kravchuk. Here you'll find delicious, trusted recipes with easy step-by-step photos and videos. 
This is a fantastic recipe. Personally, I like the “little black specks” in the smoothie. Brings it some character. Thanks for the recipe!
🙂 Thanks Scott! I’m glad you liked it.
Natasha! This smoothie is definitely my favorite! It even beats my favorite “Peach Pleasure” from Jamba Juice 🙂 I tried this smoothie for the first time at my sister’s house, and I instantly loved it! drank a full tall glass in one sitting. I told my mom about this smoothie several times, so yesterday she bought all ingredients, so I could make it at home… guess what? My mom who’s a really good cook and baker, and kind of picky with taste, tried it, and said, “Ah Vkusno!” 🙂
Anyway, Thank you for sharing this recipe!!!
Awesome, reading your comment makes me crave that smoothie right now :).
I’m curious which blogging and site-building platform you are running? I’m new to running a
blog and have been thinking about using the WordPress platform.
Do you consider this is a good foundation to start with?
I would be extremely thankful if I could ask you some questions through email so I
can learn a bit more prior to getting started. When you have some free time, please make sure to contact me. Thanks a lot
Hi Kyle, please check my Resources page above. It should answer many of your questions.
I tried this smoothie, and it was delicious!! I made it before I went and worked out, and my trainer was pleased to hear I had consumed it. Being a nutrition graduate, I didn’t see the nutritional information, such as carbs, sugar, etc. Can you post it? Yes, I can add up the info for myself, but others might want to know.
Thanks.
Thanks for the idea :), although I don’t have much time to do that since I’m still working full time.
Thank you! My kids and husband liked it as much as I did!!!!
You are welcome Tiffany, I’m glad your family liked the recipe :).
Thank you for sharing this! My three year old has asked to watch this video several times, I think it’s so cute. He wants to watch it every time before we go and make this and today he asked me for the “spinach smoothie.” AMAZING! He’s never asked me for a vegetable before …
This is great Tiffany, I love that your son is so in to “spinach smoothie” :).
I’m so into smoothies lately 😉 Tried your recipe and since I didn’t have mango juice on hand I used pure 100% coconut milk & it was super delish! Also love the greek honey yogurt!! Mmm 🙂 Thanks for your awesome recipes.. Keep ’em coming!!! <3
My husband will love the coconut milk idea. What’s the best brand for that?; he’s been asking me to buy it for him.
Hi. Off course after reading all of the comments I decided to throw in my 2 coins =) We owed Vitamix for 5 yrs now and it blends like no other machine out there. I even make my crepe batter in it, let it sit for 30 min until bubbles go away and done. No clumps no mess… ready in minutes. Love your smoothie idea!
I love using the blender for crepes; it makes the process so easy!
Yyyyuuuuuummmmmmmmm!!!!!!!
Thanks Anna 🙂
Natasha,
The smoothie is great and I don’t have a Vitamix. Maybe Vitamix will send you one for review? lol
Oh now that would be nice! You hear that Vitamix?!!
🙂
LOL. I’m with you girls. I don’t have Vitamix or Ninja either. I use $40 Oster blender from Costco, add water/coconut water and tons of veggies to my smoothies. Healthier that way. They taste amazing! I can’t dish out $400-500 for a blender. Just not me.:)
On the other note, I agree Natasha, I prefer smoothies to juices because of the fiber content. Green smoothies are the way to go if you want to be healthy. You are what you eat!
Small appliances are so crazy expensive these days; $400 blender, $400 juicer, $400 mixer (I only have a mixer so far)!!
Keep posting the summer recipes, I’m trying all of them((:
I’m hoping for a cold soup maybe??…my mom loves soup but the hot borscht and all that on a hot summer day isn’t very appetizing lol.
I do have a cold soup, but it would be fun to post more cold soups this summer. Thanks for the idea! 🙂
I am so trying this one! I have been lately into juices since we just bought a centrifugal juicer at home. It is such a nice gadget to have! And you can make juice out of almost anything! There is a fantastic book out there called “500 smoothies and juices”. I totally reccomend it! It has so many brilliant and fun recipes both for smoothies and juices.
Is your juicer a masticating juicer (chews the food in a way)? I’ve been looking into juicers too!
Girl, thank you for another great recipe) you look great! I like your new hair style:)
In my opinion, those pieces are so much fun to have in your smoothie) its like eating fruit without chewing it:-) but still tasting tiny pieces of the fruit) I think its great!
It’s all about nutrients that we get from the smoothie!!!
Awww thanks. You’re so sweet 🙂 Did you get your email from Blogher about winning the rice select $100?? 🙂
Ohhh! Wow! Nice to know) Thanks, Natash:-)
I just replied to that e-mail
I’m glad I mentioned it here. Congrats on winning!!!
Hi, we don’t have one either! So you are not the only one. Amazon has those for $100 cheaper, http://www.amazon.com/Vitamix-1782-TurboBlend-2-Speed/dp/B004VMAC8I
Phew!! 🙂 I’ll check that out. Thank you!!
Keep in mind one from costco one is not the same, one from Amazon is 2 speed only. I have searched all web for a deal, couldn’t find a better deal.
We have the ninja blender and it seems to work just fine. The vitamix is better of course. My parents have one. But the ninja is good for the price. We dont have those black pieces and the texture is smooth.
That’s good to know since you have experience with both. Thanks!
If you want healthy, skip the dairy. I use closer to 3 packed cups of spinach in mine and add fresh or frozen mango instead of the juice, and use water for the liquid. I had the same reaction as Moms dish when I saw your pic 🙂 Definately not a vitamix smoothie
We had a ninja and made smoothies on it but kept hearing great stuff about the vitamix so my husband decided to try it so we returned the ninja at Costco and bought the vitamix. Yes it’s very expensive but no regrets. Total difference in smoothies. The vitamix is a great investment.
Thanks Lana! I’ll definitely look into getting one 🙂
We always do basically the same thing but with milk or apple juice, Now have to try this mango juice 🙂 Yum@
Yes it would work just fine with any liquid but I like the mango flavor in there 🙂
Natash, you got to give Vitamix a try. All those little black pieces will be gone and texture very smooth. Worth every penny.
did you get yours from Costco? I wonder how it compares to the Ninja blender (I know that one is quite a bit cheaper and my sister seems to love it). I believe you. I guess I’m not sure I want to dish out that much for a blender…
We normally don’t give bday gifts for eachother.. we really have everything we need but for my birthday my husvand did buy me the vitamix. We love it. Ninja doesnt blend as well.. this is from Costco presentation. I also make soups, salsa and desserts with the vitamix: like cheesecake. Try it out. If you dont like it, you can always return it at Costco.
That’s pretty creative to make cheesecake in it! And I assume they never go on sale, right? 🙂
At Costco they do. It’s usually 30-50$ off. I believe once tgey were $75 off. We certainly missed it. We actually miss all sales everywhere
Lol. It also comes with a neat recipe book. Use it often! Let us know if you decide to give it a try. 🙂
Its starting to look like we are the only ones without one!
Lol I dont have one too 🙂 and I’m happy with my Ninja lol you’re not alone lol
🙂 Sweet! 🙂
I got my at Costco and I told my husband lets test it, we can return and get Ninja if we decide its not worth our money.
We love Jumba Juice so this was an investment for us because smoothies we made were just like at Jumba.
I use it for many things, I dont have food processor so many chopping i do in vitamix.
Also you wouldn’t need to use so much juice and liquids, its powerful to blend it up easy. less juice is less calories and sugar for us. 😉
That’s a very good point!
