Notes on Ingredients
- Banana: Frozen banana works best to thicken the smoothie but fresh is fine too. If you aren’t using frozen fruit, add ice cubes to thicken the smoothie and make it cold.
- Spirulina: Adds incredible nutrients and a gorgeous green color to the smoothie. If you don’t have spirulina powder, feel free to omit it.
- Ginger: Use a knob of fresh ginger to add a spicy, fresh flavor to the smoothie and gut-soothing benefits.
- Coconut Water: I use the C2O Matcha Coconut Water. Make sure you use coconut water without any added sugar!

Commonly Asked Questions
You can make “smoothie freezer bags” by adding all of the smoothie ingredients (except liquids) to a freezer safe baggie. Store the baggie in the freezer until you’re ready to blend, then add the baggie contents to your blender along with the liquids and blend until smooth.
Definitely! Smoothies are customizable so add whatever protein powder you enjoy. I like to do a scoop of Vanilla Wellious Protein Powder.
I am obsessed with the coconut water from C2O. I used the matcha coconut water in this smoothie! It’s beyond delish. Visit the C2O website to find it in stores near you! If you love matcha, make my Vegan Gluten-Free Matcha Muffins next!
