This smoothie is packed with protein, vitamins and nutrients to help keep you full and give you energy to start your day!
I feel like I could post a new smoothie recipe each week. I am always testing out new ones and I this one is a true favorite. I love adding Stonyfield Greek yogurt to my smoothies because it adds 15 grams of protein (per 5.3 ounce cup) and it’s organic and GMO-FREE too as well. This is my second year being a Stonyfield Blogger Ambassador and I love every minute of it! I did write The Greek Yogurt Cookbook, so that must mean something!
Now let me show my new favorite product! This is a Hamilton Beach Single Serve Blender with Travel Lid. How smart…they made a blender that also can be used as a cup. Pure genius!
I have used this blender several times since I received it and I love it. It’s super easy, you literally place the ingredients in it and press the button. I love easy. And I love this smoothie.
So now check out this delicious, healthy smoothie…
Ingredients
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 1/2 cucumber chopped
- 1/2 apple. chopped leave the skin on
- 1/2 cup chopped pineapple
- 1 5.3 ounce container of Stonyfield plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon hemp seeds
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- water or milk optional, add if the mixture is too thick
Instructions
- Place all of the ingredients into the blender. Blend until smooth. Remove lid and enjoy!
I added chopped apples and more chia and hemp seeds on top because I felt like it. And I was so happy with the added texture!

I’d make a pineapple-coconut-kiwi-spinach smoothie
I would make a strawberry banana smoothie. I have never included yogurt before, so I may as well try that!!
The first smoothie I’d make would be strawberry with lime and ginger.
a banana papaya smoothie
Oooooh I have to try that Julie!
I would make my favorite smoothie: chocolate flavored protein powder with almond milk and blueberries. It looks like the perfect sized blender!
That sounds delicious! I love blueberries and chocolate together!
I would make an orange mango smoothie!
That sounds delicious Linda!
That would be Kale, Pineapple & Orange.
Thanks for the chance.
Yum Maria!
I really love green smoothies like kale spinach and green apples!
That sounds delicious! 🙂
Mango kale is my favorite smoothie so I woul definitely make that
Oooh I have to try that one Marie!
I’ve never made a green smoothie, but I think it’s about time I tried it! I’m thinking kale, cashew or almond milk, stevia, chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, and peppermint extract for a green mint chocolate smoothie.
I need to try that Jordan! Love the cocoa and peppermint!
