Tropical Green Smoothie
This Tropical Green Smoothie uses tender spinach leaves, plain non-fat greek yogurt, and frozen fruit for a naturally sweet smoothie that’s great for breakfast or a snack!
I was provided with a Blendtec blender to review and use to create this post. All opinions and text are 100% mine.
If you follow me on instagram, then you know that I received my dream blender in the mail at the end of last month! Once that box was opened and the Blendtec cleaned, I haven’t been able to stop creating recipes since!

This week, you are going to get 4 recipes that I have made with my Blendtec Designer 675 and Twister Jar! Today’s recipe is a smoothie because, well, I have a smoothie every morning for breakfast, and now I can use A LOT more frozen fruit for a Jamba Juice type of texture! That’s the way smoothies ought to be!
This Tropical Green Smoothie uses tender spinach leaves, plain non-fat greek yogurt, and frozen fruit for a naturally sweet smoothie that’s great for breakfast or a snack!
When you load your blender, you will want to add the liquids first; in this case I used water. You don’t need juice to sweeten this smoothie, the fruits do that. Then add the softer ingredients; in this case yogurt and spinach. Lastly, add the frozen or whole ingredients. This just helps things blend the best. Stick the lid on and blend. If you have a Blendtec, simply hit the smoothie button and 40 seconds later you will have this…
A super smooth, green smoothie with no spinach chunks hiding in there! This is a drink both of my children fight over!
And they know it has spinach in it, but they guzzle it up anyway! We have a hard time getting our greens in, but if we can drink them, it’s much easier! Grab the recipe below.

This really is such a good way to get the kids their greens! It looks so yummy! You can tell this was made with a nice blender. Look how smooth!!

I love the tropical twist on a green smooth! I sounds delicious, Amber.
I’m all for tropical flavors to bring me out of a winter rut!
I’ve never heard of that one. It looks fantastic!
The Blendtec blender or the smoothie? It is the best blender I have owned hands down! The smoothie is so good! You really can’t get it thick and smooth using frozen fruit with other blenders, you have to add more liquid, and then it’s not the texture you want anymore. Love love LOVE my Blendtec!
The blender. I used to have a Breville juicer but I did not care for all of the foam it produced with very little juice. Yours sounds like a really good one.
The tropical green smoothie looks heavenly!! I’m not a ‘green’ smoothie / shake gal, but I do believe you have twisted my arm with this prize! Thank you for sharing! Keep the fabulous recipes coming!! I will certainly ATTEMPT to make them when my boyfriend and I visit his sister in Georgia….his sister has a Blendtec and she LOVES it!!!
You seriously can’t taste any greens in it! It tastes like a purely fruit smoothie, with the added benefits of greens! Good luck entering the giveaway! If you win one of your own, you won’t have to borrow your boyfriend’s sister’s! 😉
THAT’s my type of smoothie, for sure! I can’t wait to make it! No doubt; winning one would be heaven sent.
I am looking for your other 3 recipes now! We made this one in her Blendtec (standard model) and LOVED it!! Thank you for sharing this yummy recipe!
Yay! So glad you liked it! Thanks for coming back to let me know!
Love the twister jar!
The twister jar is heaven sent! That’s for sure!
