Strawberry Green Protein Smoothie

This Strawberry Green Protein Smoothie is one of those simple blends that ticks every box: naturally sweet, beautifully hydrating, and packed with nutrients that help fuel your day. One of my favourite ways to start the day especially after a morning walk or ocean swim, is with a nourishing smoothie that feels light, refreshing, and supportive for the body.

The strawberries bring a vibrant freshness, the spinach adds a gentle boost of greens, and the vanilla protein makes it wonderfully satisfying and balanced. Fresh ginger adds a subtle warmth that helps wake up digestion, while coconut water keeps the whole smoothie light and hydrating.

It’s quick, delicious, and a lovely way to give your body something nourishing without overthinking it.

Nutritional Benefits

Strawberries: Antioxidant-Rich & Naturally Sweet

Strawberries are packed with vitamin C, antioxidants, and fibre that support immune health and help protect the body from oxidative stress. Their natural sweetness makes them a wonderful whole-food alternative to refined sugars while still providing a fresh, vibrant flavour.

Spinach: Gentle Greens for Everyday Nourishment

Baby spinach is one of the easiest greens to include in smoothies. It provides iron, folate, magnesium, and plant compounds that support energy production and overall wellbeing. Its mild flavour blends beautifully without overpowering the sweetness of the fruit.

Ginger: Digestive Support & Anti-Inflammatory Benefits

Fresh ginger adds a gentle warmth and brightness to the smoothie while supporting digestion and helping reduce inflammation in the body. It’s a small ingredient that brings both flavour and functional benefits.

Ingredients

(serves 1)

  • 2 handfuls baby spinach
  • 8 fresh or frozen strawberries
  • 45g vanilla pea protein powder
  • Thumb-sized piece fresh ginger
  • 1/2 green apple
  • 2 cups coconut water (or plain water)
  • 1/2 cup ice cubes (optional)

Preparation

*Tip: To ensure that you get a smooth textured smoothie, it is recommended to blend your greens with the liquid first, then add the remaining ingredients.

Method

Combine all ingredients in a blender and process until smooth and creamy. Pour into your chosen glass and enjoy!

 

Serving Suggestions

If you enjoy a thicker smoothie, add a few frozen strawberries instead of ice.
