Banana and pear make this green smoothie so sweet and creamy that the spinach is hardly noticeable. Coconut water adds a subtle tropical note.

5 oz
coconut water
Garnish: No garnish · Ice: Served up, no ice
Creamy and mild with sweet banana, juicy pear and a light coconut note; the spinach stays in the background.
Baby spinach is the classic green smoothie leaf because it has hardly any taste of its own. It contributes colour, volume and nutrients such as vitamin K and folate. A ripe banana provides sweetness and creaminess, half a pear adds juiciness, and coconut water replaces plain water with a light, nutty sweetness and some natural potassium.
This is one of the easiest green smoothies to like, a good choice for beginners and for a quick breakfast.
Yes, all ingredients are plant based.
Hardly; banana and pear dominate the flavour.
Yes, the smoothie will then be a little less sweet.
