There is a sea of healthy green smoothies out there. I do quite a few and love them all so much. This one I just whipped up, attempting to clean out my vegetable bin before my weekly trip to the farmer’s market tomorrow. This smoothie is so good and so necessary. I’m fighting a losing battle against my allergies and needed a good vitamin c punch. This was perfect for lunch. Plus protein-packed, thanks to Chobani, so my muscles are thankful post workout.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the smoothie taste “green” or spinachy?
The spinach flavor is largely masked by the sweetness of 1 banana, 10 green grapes, 1 apple, and 2 kiwis blended together with vanilla almond milk and vanilla Chobani. I made this specifically to pack in vitamin C without the taste standing out — it’s something I find so good and so necessary for fighting my allergies.
What does the chia seed add, and is it worth including?
I mark 1 tsp of chia seeds as optional. They add a small boost of fiber and omega-3s without noticeably changing the flavor, though they will add a very slight gel texture if the smoothie sits for a few minutes before drinking. Blend them in with everything else if you choose to include them.
Delicious! I threw in some vanilla protein powder since I used plain yogurt. Super tasty!
Do you have a calorie count for this? I don’t like spinach and I don’t care for apples usually but this is delicious and I plan on making it my morning start ever morning. THANK YOU
