Arugula Strawberry Green Smoothie
A refreshing and nutrient-dense green smoothie that balances the peppery bite of fresh arugula with the natural sweetness of ripe strawberries and creamy banana. This vibrant drink is packed with antioxidants and provides a clean energy boost without the bitterness of traditional kale shakes.
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh baby arugula tightly packed
- 1.5 cups frozen strawberries whole or sliced
- 1 large banana ripe and frozen for extra creaminess
- 1.5 cups unsweetened almond milk or any plant-based milk of choice
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt plain and unsweetened
- 1 tbsp chia seeds for added fiber and omega-3s
- 1 tsp honey optional, adjust based on fruit sweetness
- 0.5 tsp fresh lemon juice to brighten the flavors
Notes
For the best texture, use frozen fruit instead of ice cubes which can dilute the flavor. To make this vegan, substitute the Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt and the honey with maple syrup. Store leftovers in an airtight mason jar for up to 24 hours, though some separation is natural; shake well before drinking.
