A vibrant blend of mixed berries, spinach, banana, and protein powder — a nutrient-dense smoothie that tastes like dessert.
A Word for the Season
Don't let the green color fool you — this smoothie is sweet, fruity, and refreshing. The spinach is barely detectable behind the berries and banana, making it an easy way to add a serving of greens to your day.
The Scriptural Foundation
"I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well." — Psalm 139:14
The Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cup frozen mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 1 banana
- 1 large handful fresh spinach
- 1 scoop (25g) vanilla protein powder
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or coconut water
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions

Nutritional Note
Berries are among the most antioxidant-rich foods on earth, protecting cells from oxidative stress. Spinach adds iron, folate, and vitamin K. Chia seeds provide omega-3 fatty acids and fiber, making this smoothie a well-rounded meal replacement or post-workout recovery drink.
A Prayer for the Journey
Lord, thank You for the vibrant colors of Your creation. May I be as intentional about feeding my body as I am about feeding my soul. Amen.
