Notes
Optional Add-ins
- Top with homemade whipped cream and a cherry.
- Add a scoop of collagen protein powder for extra protein. Add it with the spinach to make sure it blends up smoothly. I like pure, unflavored collagen peptides from Vital Proteins.
- It’s important to use whole milk and full-fat Greek yogurt to make this smoothie creamy.
- Add ice for a more frozen consistency.
