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!

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.

Im so happy I came across this recipe! This is a seriously good smoothie 😊👌🏻 Thanks!!
The smoothies look delicious and making baggies of fruit in advance is wonderful.
Bought my Blendtec 2 years ago to get more greens in my 16 year old son. He loves them. I have made that recipe except using peaches instead of mango. Absolutely going to try it with mango.
I still use my Blendtec like every day! Glad you are enjoying yours, Debbie, and the green smoothies you are making for your family! You’ll love this recipe with mango!
We love smoothies, and my blender (a Walmart Oster) literally just went up in smoke! I’m hoping for this one! Your recipe looks delicious, although it might take some convincing to get my husband to try a green-colored smoothie.
Oh no, sorry to hear about your blender! This green smoothie is mostly fruit and hardly any spinach, it’s a gentle transition into greener smoothies. 🙂
Yay for a new blender! Green smoothies are my favorite! Love everything you put in this one, it looks so refreshing and delicious!
Definitely not as healthy as your smoothies Kelly, but I’m taking baby steps to put more greens and healthy stuff in there 😉
We are totally on the same smoothie wavelength! I just made a green smoothie yesterday that was basically identical to what you’ve got going on here—YAY for green smoothies and great blenders right?!
I’m taking baby steps to more greens in my smoothies, but this was dang good! Glad we’re smoothie sisters!
That looks tasty!
Thank you Melinda! It’s quite delicious!
Thank you for the chance to win, and for the introduction to your website, too! I’m looking forward to your recipes!
Thanks Chris! Good luck and enjoy the recipes!
