A frozen smoothie fit for superheros. Blended frozen bananas, strawberries, spinach and almond milk make this smoothie as delicious as it is vibrant.
Last week I was sick with a chest infection and the only thing I wanted to eat for three days straight was soup and smoothies. Determined to pump myself with as many vitamins and nutrients as possible and craving something cold for my aching throat I made this Frozen Spinach & Strawberry Smoothie.
Ok, so where does the Superhero part come into it? Well it looks like something a superhero would drink and your kids / partner / friends will think you're pretty darn special for producing this when they are ill!
Alternatives:
I've used almond milk in this recipe, making it vegan friendly.
But you could also use:
- Coconut Milk
- Cow's Milk
- Soya Milk
- Oat Milk
If you are nervous about how your fussy eaters might take to the spinach smoothie then you can add more honey or maple syrup to make it a little sweeter for younger taste buds.
But it's quite possible that they will be so surprised by the vibrant colours and excited to tuck in to this frozen delight that they won't even realise that what they are drinking is so healthy!
I will definitely be trying out some more versions of this Frozen Smoothie again soon. What other flavours do you think would work well together?

Description
A frozen smoothie fit for superheros. Blended frozen bananas, strawberries, spinach and almond milk make this smoothie as delicious as it is vibrant.
Ingredients
- Green Smoothie:
- 1 frozen banana
- 2 handfuls of baby spinach
- ½ cup almond milk
- 1 tsp honey or maple syrup
- Pink Smoothie:
- 1 frozen banana
- 8 frozen strawberries
- ½ cup almond milk
- Flaked almonds to decorate
Instructions
- Starting with the green smoothie, blend the frozen banana, spinach, almond milk and honey together in a blender. Transfer to a jar or glass and rinse the blender.
- Next make the pink smoothie by blending the second frozen banana with the strawberries and almond milk. Pour on top of the green layer, top with flaked almonds and serve.
Notes
Try not to over-blend the smoothies as they will become less and less frozen and more likely to mix together in the jar.

I made this for breakfast this morning as I've been feeling really sluggish and it looks and tastes fab. Really fresh tasting and full of healthy ingredients so hopefully it might help me get my mojo back! 🙂
