Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 cup spinach fresh or frozen
  • 1 medium banana frozen for a thicker smoothie
  • ½ cup mixed berries fresh or frozen (blueberries, strawberries, raspberries)
  • 3 tablespoon wheat germ raw or toasted
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt or 1 scoop vanilla protein powder + ¾ cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil or nut butter for healthy fats
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup optional, to taste
  • ½ cup water or milk add more to reach your preferred consistency

Equipment

Method
 

  1. Add the liquid and spinach to the blender first — placing liquid at the bottom helps everything blend smoothly.
  2. Add the banana, berries, wheat germ, Greek yogurt, coconut oil, and honey.
  3. Blend on high for 45–60 seconds until completely smooth. Taste and adjust sweetness with more honey if needed.
  4. Pour into a large glass and serve immediately, or seal in a travel cup and refrigerate for up to 8 hours.

Notes

Net carbs: 39g (45g total carbs minus 6g fiber).
Substitutions: Replace Greek yogurt with a dairy-free alternative (coconut yogurt, silken tofu) and use maple syrup for a fully vegan version. Replace coconut oil with 1 tablespoon of nut butter for an equal healthy fat hit without the coconut flavour.
Storage: Best consumed immediately. Can be refrigerated in a sealed jar for up to 8 hours — shake or re-blend briefly before drinking.
Tips: Using a frozen banana eliminates the need for ice and produces a creamier, thicker smoothie without diluting the flavour.
