FAQs
Can I use frozen spinach instead of fresh?
Yes, frozen spinach works well in smoothies. Just thaw slightly or add it directly to the blender with extra liquid for a smooth blend.
What kind of protein powder is best for this smoothie?
Any protein powder you prefer will work, such as whey, soy, or plant-based options. Vanilla flavor complements the peach nicely but unflavored also works if you want a more natural taste.
