  • 2 tablespoons ground flax seed optional
  • 2 tablespoons vanilla protein powder optional
  • 1 scoop collagen powder optional

Instructions

  • Place all ingredients in the order listed into a blender. Blend until smooth.
    ½ cup vanilla Greek yogurt, 1 medium banana, 2 cups spinach or kale, 1 to 1 ½ cups orange juice, 1 cup cold water, ½ cup frozen peaches, ½ cup frozen mango, ½ cup frozen pineapple, 2 tablespoons ground flax seed, 2 tablespoons vanilla protein powder, 1 scoop collagen powder

Notes

Different Greens: Replace spinach with kale, swiss chard, or a spring mix blend. Baby spinach has the mildest flavor for beginners.
Fruit Swaps: Use any frozen fruit combination—strawberries, blueberries, or mixed berries work beautifully. Avocado adds creaminess without sweetness.
Dairy-Free Version: Substitute coconut yogurt, cashew yogurt, or silken tofu for Greek yogurt. Use almond milk, coconut milk, or oat milk instead of dairy milk.
Protein Boost: Add nut butter (almond, peanut, or cashew), chia seeds, hemp hearts, or an extra scoop of protein powder for more staying power.
