Can you taste the spinach in this smoothie?

If you are blending up the spinach by itself, then yes, you'll definitely taste it. However, many smoothies include fruits, which is a perfect way to mask the taste of the spinach once blended.

And no, the spinach doesn't have a strange smoothie texture; it has the same creamy texture as the rest of the ingredients in the smoothie.

In other words, smoothies are a great way to get in some greens without tasting them. And it is an excellent way to sneak in some extra veggies for picky kids!

Ingredients Checklist

• Strawberries: I use frozen strawberries, so I don't have to add ice cubes to my smoothie. And since fresh strawberries don't last that long in the fridge, it's a good idea to freeze them to use in your smoothie.
• Almond milk: This provides the liquid base for this keto smoothie.
• Heavy cream: Heavy cream adds some bulk and more healthy fats.
• Spinach: Raw spinach packs a punch in health benefits like vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber.
• Vanilla extract: For an infusion of vanilla flavor!
• Low carb sweetener: The best part is that you can use your favorite low carb sweetener for this smoothie. I love monk fruit sweetener, so that's what I use.
• Ice (optional): If you use fresh strawberries, you can add some ice.

How to make a strawberry spinach smoothie

This smoothie comes together really quickly!

1. First, place the almond milk and heavy cream in a blender. 
2. You can use a regular blender, but I love to use a small personal blender or nutribullet for convenience and less clean-up.
3. Add the frozen strawberries, vanilla extract, and monk fruit sweetener. I find it helpful to add the spinach last so I can just squeeze it in, but you can add it anytime.
4. Blend until smooth, and enjoy!

This keto strawberry smoothie serves 1 and contains 7 net carbs per serving.

It tastes best when consumed as soon as it's blended. If you store it in the fridge, you may want to blend it up again before drinking.

Variations and Substitutions

• Add other low-carb fruits. Strawberries are one of my favorites, but you can substitute them with low-carb fruits like fresh blueberries, blackberries, or raspberries.
• Try using frozen fruit in your healthy smoothie recipes, so you don't have to add ice. You can quickly get them at a grocery store, or you can buy fresh fruit and freeze them yourself.
• Use other greens: If you're out of baby spinach or want to try something new, other leafy greens would work fine. They may change the flavor profile slightly, but it shouldn't be too noticeable with the strawberries. Some options are kale, swiss chard, and collard greens.
• Use a full cup of spinach or more for the best green smoothie recipe.
• You can use other milk options as long as they're keto-friendly. I enjoy some coconut milk in place of almond milk from time to time. 
• You can bulk up this smoothie further by adding protein powder, almond butter, hemp seeds, or chia seeds. Any nut butter will work great with this recipe.

Tips when making this smoothie

• To make the smoothie thinner, you can always add more almond milk until the right consistency is reached. This may lessen the flavor of the other ingredients, so adjust as needed.
• To make it thicker, you can reduce the amount of milk you add to your smoothie. You can also add more fruit or spinach to thicken it.
• To make this strawberry spinach smoothie dairy-free or vegan, omit the heavy cream.
