Nutella smoothie with spinach in a glass

Your New Smoothie Obsession

My everyday smoothie goes a little something like this: banana + spinach + milk. Boom, smoothie. But some mornings just need a little chocolate, and this spinach Nutella smoothie totally delivers.

The result is a smoothie that tastes more like a creamy dessert than breakfast (while still packing in a decent amount of vitamins and minerals from the leafy greens and banana!).

The spinach is undetectable in flavor (though it does make things a bit… green!), and the Nutella does wonders to make this smoothie super decadent. The best part? It’s ready in 5 minutes, so you can feel like you’re getting away with something way too delicious for breakfast.

Here’s What You’ll Need

Grab these four simple ingredients, and you’re ready to roll! Jump down to the recipe card for exact measurements (this is just an overview!).

Spinach: Use fresh or frozen spinach (find out how to freeze spinach here!). You can also substitute kale (it may need to be blended longer as kale has a tougher texture than spinach).
Milk: Use virtually any plain or vanilla-flavored milk here. Dairy, non-dairy, anything goes!
Banana: Frozen banana is best for adding frosty coolness to this smoothie. Just peel, roughly chop, and freeze a banana the night before making it.
Nutella: And, of course, the star of the show. You can’t have a Nutella smoothie without Nutella!

Let’s Blend!

You can almost put this spinach Nutella smoothie together with your eyes closed (… almost). Jump to the recipe card for the full printable instructions.

Blend spinach and milk until smooth.
Add the rest of the ingredients, blend again, and enjoy!

Try These Variations

As with most smoothies, this spinach Nutella smoothie is pretty flexible to whatever you have on hand or prefer! Here are a few ideas:

No Banana: You can replace the banana with 1/4 cup of coconut milk (even better if you freeze the milk into ice cubes beforehand!).
Dairy-Free: To make it dairy-free, use plant-based milk and substitute classic Nutella for homemade vegan Nutella (or almond butter and unsweetened cocoa powder).
Make Popsicles: This smoothie makes great popsicles! Just pour the mixture into popsicle molds and freeze for 4-6 hours (the recipe is in my book For the Love of Popsicles).
