Green Smoothie — common questions
Can I use frozen spinach instead of fresh?
Yes; thaw it first and squeeze out excess water, or blend it straight into the smoothie—it will make no difference in texture or taste, though thawed spinach blends slightly easier.
What if the smoothie is too thick?
Add almond milk 1/4 cup at a time and blend again; you want it pourable but not watery.
Can I make it the night before?
Smoothies separate and oxidize quickly; make it fresh to order. If you must prep ahead, freeze the blended smoothie in an airtight container and blend again with a splash of milk to restore texture before serving.
What can I substitute for Greek yogurt?
Plain regular yogurt works but will be thinner; use 3/4 cup and reduce milk to 3/4 cup. Silken tofu or cashew cream also work as 1:1 replacements.
How do I avoid a gritty texture?
Blend for a full 90 seconds on high—insufficient blending leaves spinach fibers perceptible. Start with liquid first so greens don't stick to the blender walls.
