This one is for all you coconut lovers out there. This is good stuff!
Yes, this is higher in fat than most of my smoothies. But all the fat comes from the coconut, which in my book, makes it healthy. I love coconut fats!
However, if the fat content is really a concern for you, simply change the coconut milk to any other type of milk for a yummy banana smoothie with a hint of coconut. Delish either way!
It’s refreshing, filling and full of good-for-you nutrients. You can’t go wrong!

How do you cook Quinoa? I don’t even know what it is… I assume it’s a grain?
Annie – It’s really easy. Quicker than cooking rice. I recommend rinsing it with warm water, then following the package directions. I believe it’s technically a seed, but it’s treated as a grain. It has a unique and understated flavor. I think you’ll enjoy it. We sure do!
WOW!!! This smoothie is delicious – Thank you so much for the recipe. I added Protein Powder because it was post-workout dinner. Keep these coming Tiffany. Thanks again!!
TaraRae – Glad you enjoyed it!
Ya, spinach is great in smoothies. I have never once gotten a spinach flavor. It’s a great way to get those extra nutrients!
I loved this smoothie. It’s delicious and you can’t even taste the spinach!
Awesome! That’s why I love adding spinach so much. All those nutrients without changing the flavor!
