A Strawberry Spinach Smoothie A Day

This strawberry spinach smoothie is love at first sip. It is ridiculously easy to make and is packed with all-natural, healthy ingredients making this the perfect snack!

Juicing has its place but what I love about smoothies is you retain the fiber from your fruits and veggies which is so important for your digestive health (Don’t worry, I won’t go into more detail than that, although I could since I am a Nurse which means I am NOT shy about this topic. I can be eating a snickers while discussing issues of the digestive system)… sorry. Now I’ve done it. Really sorry.

I know it may be a difficult transition for some of you but lets get back to the recipe. You can make this smoothie without the spinach if you like, but I’ll have you know it doesn’t change the flavor much to add it. Spinach will just make your smoothie healthier. It’s a great way to sneak in veggies for kids who otherwise won’t eat them. Thanks for all of your awesome smoothie suggestions on Instagram. Because of you, we discovered this strawberry spinach smoothie.
