Creamy Spinach Orange Smoothie (No Yogurt)

This orange-green smoothie has a delicious citrusy flavor. It is made with fresh fruit like orange and avocado and refreshing ingredients like ginger and fresh spinach.

It contains healthy fats, has a creamy texture, and is ready in 5 minutes.

This creamy smoothie is one of my daughter's favorite drinks. Like my pineapple cucumber smoothie, it is a beautiful green color, refreshing, and infused with coconut water. It's a great breakfast or snack option with a delicious flavor. 

You can easily pack it in thermos container(s) for school lunch, and it will still be perfect in consistency when noon arrives. Let's make it.

Ingredients & Notes

See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.

You only need a few ingredients to make this orange spinach smoothie recipe.

• Spinach: These leafy greens add a great boost of nutrients without overpowering the overall flavors of this drink. Use regular or fresh baby spinach leaves and buy more to make my Spinach Garlic Pasts With Peas.
• Orange: One is enough to add natural sweetness and a citrusy touch. 
• Avocado: ¼ of an avocado is enough to add healthy fats and a super creamy texture. Toss the leftovers in this refreshing mango avocado salad.
• Coconut Water: Go for an unsweetened version without added sugars. 
• Fresh ginger: It adds a subtle spicy flavor that bites through the natural sweetness.

Note: If you have a sweet tooth like my daughter, this refreshing, healthy smoothie is plenty sweet from the orange and natural coconut water.
