Spinach Protein Smoothie (Teenage Boy-Approved, Vegetarian, Gluten-Free)

Posted By Dorothy Reinhold On In Breakfast,Smoothies | 23 Comments

SPINACH PROTEIN SMOOTHIE: Wildly vibrant green and full of flavor, this breakfast shake is teenage boy-approved. When breakfast seems like too much trouble or your teen wants to leave the house without, this smoothie comes to the rescue.

You know when teenage boys start sharing a recipe, it has to be not only good, but downright epic.

So when my son’s good friend told him he had the “best protein shake…EVER,” it was only a matter of time until the friend texted a snapshot of the ingredient list to my son.

Boom, done, it had to be made.

“What do you want for breakfast,” I asked, innocently, this morning, thinking he would have his usual scrambled eggs, or maybe a bowl of cereal. Teenage boys live on cereal.

“Cameron sent me a smoothie recipe, so I want that,” came the voice from under the covers.

“Do I have the ingredients?” I asked, imagining some fancy chia seeds or whatnot on the list.

“I would bet you have every single thing,” he said.

And I did!

  • A squirt of agave or honey, if desired
  • Handful of ice cubes
  • Water as needed

Please forgive my cruddy photo of this smoothie. The sun wasn’t even up when I took this cell phone picture. But after I tasted the drink, I knew you had to have the recipe, so I beg your photo forgiveness.
