This creamy, protein-packed green smoothie is simple and only takes a few minutes. We’ve shared a basic recipe below with optional ingredients after that. If you are looking for a substitute for Greek yogurt, leave it out or replace it with more fruit. For an extra boost of protein, add 1 to 2 scoops of your favorite protein powder.

Adam and Joanne's Tips
- Using a frozen banana makes this really refreshing and thick.
- This smoothie tastes best fresh, but it can be frozen for later. To save the smoothie for later, add to a food-safe resealable plastic bag or container and freeze. Then 45 to 60 minutes before needing the smoothie, take out from freezer.
