Notes:
- Blending the spinach with a little bit of water before adding the rest of the ingredients will create a nice smooth base and not leave spinach pieces throughout.
- We used vanilla protein powder for this recipe because we find it makes a more balanced bowl, especially if it is enjoyed for breakfast. It also will help you stay fuller for longer. Feel free to leave it out or even substitute for collagen powder.
- We used oat milk in this recipe, but this can be substituted with your favorite milk. Coconut milk would make an excellent substitution, but almond, soy or dairy would all work great.
- We like to use fresh spinach when we can but frozen works just as well.
- Adding in a fresh sliced banana or frozen banana will definitely make this smoothie bowl creamier and thicker. We like to keep some frozen bananas on hand just for this reason. To prepare frozen bananas in advance, just peel them and pop them in a freezer bag just as they are starting to get too ripe.
- Adding in an avocado would also be great for this recipe. It will make it creamier and all the tropical fruit will mask the savory taste.
