Almond Butter Spinach Smoothie
You guys!! I’m so excited to be kicking off my partnership with the Almond Board of California today. I’ve been working with them for the past few months and I’m beyond excited to share the recipes I’ve created using all forms of almonds.
In honor of summer being right around the corner, we’re kicking it off with an Almond Butter Spinach Smoothie!
It’s one of the most important parts of my day and it’s so delicious it really does help me get out of bed in the morning.
Loaded with almond butter, fresh spinach, a few pieces of frozen pineapple and some vanilla almond milk, it’s not only delicious, but it will also keep you going until your next meal!
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoons unsalted creamy almond butter
- 2 cups fresh spinach (tightly packed)
- 1 cup vanilla almond milk
- 1/2 ripe banana
- 1/4 cup frozen pineapple chunks
- Optional: 1 teaspoon chia seeds or 1 teaspoon flax seeds
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend on medium high speed until fully combined. The smoothie should be bright green and the spinach should be completely blended into the mixture.
- Enjoy immediately.

this looks awesome!! I often put raw almonds in my smoothies and it gives them some good body- this variety looks delicious!
I’ve been thinking about ways to use almond butter in smoothies lately, actually, so it’s great to see a recipe!
I’m all for almond butter based smoothies or anything almond butter! So much better than peanut butter.
Love almond butter in my smoothies!
Love the almond addition in this! I bet it’s SO good!
I could drink this every day! Perfect!
Nothing like some good ‘ol almond butter!
I soooooo need this in my life!!!!!! I hate snacking on junk during the day and this is just the smoothie that’ll keep me going without even wanting to look at all the processed stuff. I loveeee that it has almond butter in it! Delicious!!!! 🙂
Congrats on your new partnership! I love almonds.
Thank you so much for this! I am lactose intolerant and this will be the perfect substitute! And green is my favorite color!!
I really need to get into green smoothies, maybe this is the one to kick it off! thanks for the recipe!
This looks soooo good! Simple and fabulously delicious!
Looks like a delicious way to eat better.
I need to break out of my breakfast rut and this looks absolutely perfect 🙂
Two things I don’t use enough in smoothies: almond butter and spinach. Literally have them both on hand always, but never seem to use them in my daily morning breakfast smoothie…always think about it though! Going to have to try this! Thanks, Gaby 🙂
What a great idea! I absolutely love almonds so why not add them to my morning smoothie along with my almond milk! Thanks for the recipe 🙂
I need this SO bad right now!! I’ll take 3 please 🙂
Just added frozen pineapple chunks in my grocery list!! This smoothie looks so good..waiting to try it soon!
Oooh! I like the addition of pineapple, it sounds so refreshing and healthy.
I am sooooo making this! Looks perfect!!
This needs to be my lunch!
I really need to get my blender dusted off, and start making smoothies. Besides loving almonds, I like the pineapple in this recipe!
Love the added protein in this!
Always looking for new smoothie ideas, and this one’s a winner for sure! This looks so delicious and healthy…thanks for sharing!
I love the color! What a great way to start the day…
Made it exactly as directed. I think 1 cup of spinach would have been better. I think the spinach flavor was a little too strong, so either use half the spinach or double all of the other ingredients. I have a similar recipe which is my favorite that calls for 2 cups spinach but 1/2 cup frozen pineapple and 1/2 cup frozen mango plus a full banana. I loved the almond butter in this recipe, though. I tablespoon really added a ton of flavor.
I made this for breakfast and it’s delicious! I usually do almonds, but the almond butter was a nice change. Thanks! I’ll be making this one often!
This looks absolutely delicious! i will make this tomorrow and tag you on your instagram!
You are the BEST!!!
Didn’t have pineapple, so I used the leftover frozen mango I had instead. Delicious!
Great taste! Where do I find nutritional information for your recipes?
Hey Jill! I don’t provide nutritional information. That said, I use the freshest ingredients I can find and use a well balanced meal plan to keep my eating balanced.
I actually do this exact smoothie quite a bit(kids lot it) but never tried pineapple in it. sometimes I add in 1/3cup GF oats to make it more filling. Great recipes on your site. -Anna
