Notes

Nutrition is an estimate and varies by the yogurt, almond milk, avocado size, and protein powder used.

Tips for the Best Texture

• Use a ripe avocado so it blends smoothly and does not leave chunks.
• Add the liquid first to help the spinach break down evenly.
• If the smoothie is too thick, add almond milk a tablespoon at a time.
• If you want it colder and thicker, add ice or use chilled orange segments.

Protein and Nutrition

With Greek yogurt and one scoop of protein powder, this smoothie can provide roughly 35 to 40 grams of protein, depending on the brands you use. Our recipe estimate is about 360 calories and 38 grams of protein per smoothie.

Nutrition values are estimates and can change with different yogurts, milks, avocado sizes, and protein powders.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does avocado make the smoothie taste savory?

No. In this amount, avocado mostly adds creaminess. Orange and vanilla remain the dominant flavors.

Can I use bottled orange juice instead of a whole orange?

You can, but a whole orange adds more body and fiber. If you use juice, start with a smaller amount of almond milk so the smoothie does not become too thin.

Can I make it without protein powder?

Yes. Increase the Greek yogurt or use a higher-protein milk, but the total protein will be lower.
