Vegan Spinach Smoothie  

Like all the healthy smoothie recipes I created back when I owned a food biz, this spinach smoothie recipe rocks.  

Spinach is a heart-healthy, gut-healthy, high-fiber food and packed with antioxidants.

It can also help you lose weight.   

And according to Harvard, chopping spinach in a blender is the jam:  

The researchers concluded that the best way to get the most lutein from spinach is to not cook it. While eating raw spinach is good, it’s better to chop it in a blender — for instance, by making a smoothie — or in a juicer, as this releases more lutein from the leaves, according to the researchers.

Ingredients

• Filtered ice.
• Plant milk.
• Vegan yogurt.
• Spinach.
• Bananas.
• Stevia.
• Vanilla.
• Pink salt.

Vegan Spinach Smoothie With Banana 

This spinach smoothie recipe rocks post-workout, pre-workout, breakfast fuel.

And according to this report, greens are the bomb:

Dark-green, leafy vegetables are the healthiest foods on the planet, which is why I recommend two servings each day. As whole foods go, they offer the most nutrition per calorie. Of all the food groups analyzed by a team of Harvard University researchers, greens turned out to be associated with the strongest protection against major chronic diseases, including up to about a 20 percent reduction in risk for both heart attacks and strokes for every additional daily serving.

Notes 

• On the recipe card I note that Now Better Stevia Organic Extract Powder is the only brand that’s potent enough at the given measurement. You may need to increase the quantity of stevia to achieve the same sweetness with a different brand. You can also use xylitol or another sweetener.
• It’s important that the banana is frozen.  
• All the ingredients in this spinach smoothie recipe are customizable.

Spinach Smoothie & Nootropics 

I always rock nootropics in this spinach smoothie recipe and in all the smoothies I make.  

Such as these . . .

Smoothie Ideas 

• Spirulina.

• Chlorella.

• Matcha green tea.

• Wheatgrass.

• Barley grass.

• Mushrooms.     

• Turmeric (curcumin) with black pepper co-factor.   

• Beetroot powder.  

• Vitamins and minerals.

• Vegan protein powder.

• Targeted plant blends.

• Seaweeds and plankton.  

• Seeds such as chia, hemp, flax, acai (best ground up in liquid and a good source of protein, omegas, and other nutrients).  

• Nootropics/blends you prefer.     

• Sprouts & microgreens (powerhouses).  

• Nuts and nut butters

If you don’t add nootropics and boosters to smoothies and smoothie bowls, you’re missing out. Smoothies are a perfect base.    

But watch your brands.

According to this report:  

Earlier this year, a nonprofit group called the Clean Label Project released a report about toxins in protein powders. Researchers screened 134 products for 130 types of toxins and found that many protein powders contained heavy metals (lead, arsenic, cadmium, and mercury), bisphenol-A (BPA, which is used to make plastic), pesticides, or other contaminants with links to cancer and other health conditions. Some toxins were present in significant quantities. For example, one protein powder contained 25 times the allowed limit of BPA.
