Notes

  • This recipe makes 1 large smoothie or 2 smaller smoothies. The proper portion size will depend on your training regimen, calorie needs, and hunger level.
  • The nutrition facts below are based on using Fairlife chocolate milk and Oikos Pro Greek yogurt. You can certainly use variations on those ingredients, however note that the total nutrition facts may vary based on what you use.
  • This recipe was updated in 2025. The original 2015 recipe used plain milk rather than chocolate milk and did not include spinach or yogurt. The other ingredients were as written. I’m only including this note in case you previously saved this and were looking for the original recipe.
