I put my spinach, from a plastic box container, in the freezer - the whole box. Then, when I use it in a smoothie it blends completely because the frozen leaves break up quickly and smoothly :)
Thanks for sharing your trick! 😊
Me too! It’s a game changer!👍🏼
Thanks a great idea
Wow..
Whod-a "thunk?!" So it doesn't get all slime & brown. I will definitely do this! What about a container of spring mix + spinach...does that work ok too???
Oh yeah I’ve done it with the spring mix and spinach too, worked for me. ☺️👍🏼
1 cup unsweetened almond milk, 1 fresh or frozen banana, 1 cup or handful fresh spinach and blend. Then 2 TBLSP Cacoa, 2 tsp cinnamon, 1 TBLSP? almond butter. Blend.
⏺️ Ingredients
1 Cup Spinach
2 Tbsp Almond Butter

Just started your program at Sveltetraining's website. Looking forward to finding out how many delicious drinks I can fit into my day. Thanks for this. You're changing lives with your freedom. I understand now the meaning of "knowledge is freedom".

Can I substitute the almond milk with coconut milk?
@MeredithShirkandSvelteTraining can I substitute the almond milk with coconut milk?
I Began the Metaboost program and at the end of the 10 days I lost 13 lbs!!! 🎉Thank you Mere I feel great!!
Great job! congratulations 💞💛
What is the meta boost program?
I gained 2! 😢@@MeredithShirkandSvelteTraining
I did the Metaboost program and lost 13 lbs also! I am now one week further on and down another 2lbs. I am feeling so much better and actually eating MORE than I was before. So glad I found this informative and practical way to make effective changes!
Congrats!! Keep up the awesome job🥰💜
I have done the meta boost plan 4 times now and have only lost 16 pounds in that entire time. You said you’ve moved on, but to what? I have no idea how to combine foods or what food types should be eaten together. For example, do I eat veggies with every meal, when do I eat fats with a meal, etc. I didn’t find that this plan taught me how to eat beyond the diet. Can you give me ideas of how you moved on past metaboost?
I've done the metaboost and the belly buster and lost one pound. How did you lose that much? I'm trying to continue but now I slip because of a number of considerations: cost, time, practicality, lack of ingredients etc... It's hard to keep this diet going long term. I have to ask are you for real or another sales technique?
Mere- I buy organic bananas. I leave the skin on and freeze them in chunks to use in my smoothies. Adds extra fiber and loads of antioxidants. I wouldn’t use non organic though as too many pesticides.
That sounds great, @eileenquittem-pb1ut! ❤️ Keep it up. 👍
If you are prone to forming kidney stones, you can use kale instead as kale has fewer oxalates.
Hi! Please let me know which ingredient prones to form kidney stones?
Is there another alternate to kale as well? Thank you Mere! There is a 25mm kidney stone in the kidney of this body. I try not to claim it, lol! So, are there any other greens besides kale I could use that has even less oxalates? Is there a green veggie or ANY other veggie that has no oxalates? Thank you for taking the time to record and upload this recipe! Thank you in advance for a non oxalate ingredient you can suggest? 🙏🏻❤️
I put the whole banana, 3 tbsp cacao, 2 tsp stevia ans 1 tsp macha green tea. Yummy! Thank you!
That sounds absolutely delicious! I'm glad you enjoyed the smoothie. Cheers to tasty and nutritious smoothies! 🍌🍫🍵
I love how you explain how we won't taste the spinach. Not that I wouldn't try it anyway but that simple comment made want to try it like- tomorrow. Love how you explained that almond butter from the store has other stuff (I assume undesirable stuff) in it. Just love these types of quick videos.
I'm glad you found the explanations helpful and inspiring! It's always great to learn about the benefits of certain ingredients and how to make healthier choices. Enjoy trying out the recipe tomorrow! 😊🥗
I put almonds and chunks of caco in my blender first. Blended it first then added the rest. Worked great, tasted good.
Sounds great, @beckydosch5582! Thanks for sharing. ❤️
Boughy and started your plan months ago. Did the flush and 10 day plan. I now eat dinner with hubby buy incorporate the vegs or salad in the plan. Other 2 meals i try to eat with the plan in mind. Am down over 9kg. Still have some more to lose but feeling great. Try to exercise at 3xs a wk at least. Thank you.
I'm so glad to hear you're feeling great and seeing results. Keep up the fantastic work and continue incorporating those healthy habits. You've got this, Ruth! 😊💪
Loved this! I did have to add two dates to take away the bitterness but personal preference. Thanks for sharing 😊
You're so welcome!
Wow, one of the best smoothies I have ever tasted. So good! Thank you so much Meredith 😊
Thanks for sharing!! 💕
I make this one most often! I am a spinach lover. Don't worry about the mess, I have it too and I'm sure more ppl do... xoxo
The best! 😋
Hi where do you get your chocolate is it like you put in a cake have a wonderful Christmas with your family or friends Elke Conte
Jajaja! You are super, Mere!! JUst love how natural you are! I love your mess! That s life!!! HUmmmm...i ll try it tomorrow!!Thank you!xxx
You rock!! 🥰
Hi Meredith,Thank you for your time and advise.I just started following you and you have so many interesting meal plans ,I love it but I’m not sure which would work for me?I do have a question because I am only trying to loose this stubborn belly fat and I’m not sure what would only attack that area ?Do you have any suggestions for me ?
This was really good. I find if I put the spinach and milk in first and blend for a little the spinach blends good. I hope this is ok I added 2 Tbsp. hemp seed and some yogurt. I wanted this smoothie for a meal replacement and needed the protein.
That sounds like a great approach! Keep experimenting and enjoy your healthy smoothies, @susieq5457!💚🌱
Thank you for these smoothie I will try it tomorrow morning, looks amazing!!!
Have fun!
Going make this shake this morning
Trying this one tomorrow! I’ll be using coconut milk since I have some to use up.
That's awesome, @beverlystotz5652! Coconut milk sounds like a delicious twist.☺️🥥
Mere don’t worry, I think we all make a mess when making smoothies! That looks amazing I can’t wait to try it!❤
Making a mess is part of the fun! ❤️ Let me know how it goes for you, Nicole! 😋
@@MeredithShirkandSvelteTraining sure will! Thanks again! Great video!🫶
I am absolutely in love with your cocktails 🍸 ❤ When is the best time to drink them? Before the breakfast? Instead of breakfast? During the day instead of snacks? When? 😊
You can have my smoothies anytime of the day, they are also fit to replace a meal😘
Who is grace?
Looks yummy. Close to what I make. I'm going to add some cacao
Coach Grace is one of my Svelte team members 🤩
Adding Cacao is a great idea!
Almost done metaboost plan, learning a new way to eat from you so thanks and lost 5 lbs already. Goal is to help my chronic migraines
Awesome weight loss!! Keep up the great work!!❤
Look into Ginger Root extract for migraines @ 1000 mg. There is a 2014 medical study on its effectiveness.
Excellent, I keep forgetting to get the non sweetened version of the milks. This smoothie looks delicious!
It's so good! 😋
Meredith, I have heard there's more nutrients value when almonds are soaked overnight. Is this so, and if true, should we presoak the almonds before blending?
Thank you so much for answering so quickly.
You're welcome!🥰
Just made it. Interesting flavour. I will try with a frozen banana next time.
Sounds great! 😋
Thank you!
You're welcome! 😊
Made this for lunch today! So yummy!! 😋
So good!🤤
Hey Meredith, just wanted to ask: since I am not a fan of almond milk, can I use Coconut milk instead? And if yes, can I do the same to all of your recipes you use almond milk? Thanks a million!
Yes you can!👍
I tried already and it tastes very good. I just wandering what is the expected effect after exactly?
Hi Madziaza! 👋 The expected effects can vary, but this smoothie is packed with ingredients that can help lower blood cholesterol levels and increase your body's inflammatory properties. Drinking it regularly can help support your weight-loss goals. Keep up the good work! 💪💪
I made this it tasted delicious, but I would have preferred to have measurements of the amount of each ingredient to add. I just guessed and it turned out delicious.
Hey :) I'm glad that you liked it. The specific amount of ingredients are in the description ♥
Sounds good! I'm not starting your program for 1 more week. Am on the road til then and I can't wait !
That's awesome! Safe travels 🚗💪😊

Liked the weight loss shake, I used cinnamon, but the flavor was overwhelming. I also used cacao nibs.
Glad you liked it! If the cinnamon flavor was a bit overwhelming, consider reducing the amount for a milder taste. Here are some substitutions you can use for cinnamon: Ginger, apple pie spice, pumpkin pie spice, cardamom, and mace. 💕🌿
I live this! I drink it everyday? Is that okay? Thank you
Love your recipes, can't wait to try this one!!! QUESTION: what kind (roasted, unroasted?) of almonds do you suggest for making the almond butter?
Unroasted would be ideal for this recipe 😊
Can't wait to try this one tomorrow x😊
That's wonderful! Enjoy!🥤
Is there any substitute for banana in your recipes? They don't agree with me and no matter what I add I can always taste "banana". Thanks.
Happy Mother’s Day Mere 🌹🌷💕💕
You too!! Thank you so much 💜
Yummy. Thanks for sharing
You're welcome!
This video is awesome!! I love the mess, I’m exactly the same!! You are a riot!! Thanks for a killer recipe and making me laugh!
Thank you for sharing your feedback Ollie!! 🥰
Just found you yesterday! I’m trying this I have tried everything else ?
Great to have you here, Karen! 😊 Excited for you to try this. ❤️
Gosh going to try this
Can’t wait to try it.Is this a replacement for a meal?
Hey Yolanda! 💜 You can drink this smoothie for a snack in between meals or choose to replace it with a meal by adding a scoop of protein powder!
Yum, thank you!!
You got it!! 💜
you did not say how much of the almond butter
2 tbsp! The full recipe is in the caption👍😊
This looks great! I’m allergic to almonds though. What can I replace the almond butter with? Is all natural peanut butter ok?
It is very great! You can use any of the following as a substitute for Almond butter!
Cashew Butter
Sunflower Butter
Walnut Butter
What about peanut butter? Can I use that?
Thank you Meredith. That looks scrumptious. I’m concerned about spinach and having hypothyroidism. Do you have any thoughts on that?
You could use kale or romaine lettuce instead
You can use kale, romaine, arugula or swiss chard instead of spinach.🍀
May I ask the issue with spinach and hypothyroidism? Is it the iron? Thank you.
Would like the answer to that as well, please
I made this the other day and loved how chocolatey it tasted, but, all I tasted was cinnamon (like a lot!) and the chocolate and there wasn't any sweetness to it at all. I drank the whole thing but it was pretty hard. Any thoughts? I used half of a banana and it was already a small banana. Could that be part of the problem? Also, do I need the 2 tsp of the cinnamon? I love cinnamon, but this was a lot.
Hey Lisa! 😊 You can choose to use a whole banana instead of half for added sweetness 👍🏻 You can choose to use less cinnamon also!
I’m gonna make this for breakfast tomorrow I think
Wooohoo Let me know how you like it Ruth! 😋
@@MeredithShirkandSvelteTraining it was fabulous! Definitely will make this smoothie again!
I did the Metaboost program and lost some weight (not sure how much) but I feel soooo much better, thank you very much... the problem is that I am not sure how to continue, i am really scare to take the weight back... Can I continue with smoothies in the morning? I Love them... I´m not sure what to do in the afeternoon, I come back to home a little latter than 7, can I have just some fruit for dinner? at that time ?
Great to hear! You can repeat the program as many times as you want or need, beginning with the 24-hour Metabolic Flush again! You could also continue your MetaBoost lifestyle by using what you've learn from the program. 😃
Hi Meredith! I was wondering what kind of cinnamon you like to use. Siagon or Ceylon?
I like to use Ceylon. Ceylon cinnamon is of better quality and much safer for long term use.💖
I use powdered almond powder
Great choice! Keep enjoying your healthy choices! 👍😊
Thank you Meredith! Question. Can you put ice in it or is it better for you without ice?
Adding ice to the smoothie is up to you!!🤗
Hi! Do you recommend to replace a meal with the smoothie!
Thank you for sharing your feedback Thea!! 💛
Hey Martha! If you choose replace a meal with a smoothie, I recommend adding a scoop of protein powder to it 👍🏻
Do you have a maintenance program once we are at our goal weight and what if i have 50 pounds to loose how many times would it take to repeat the program?
Hi there! We have MetaBoost program that focuses on foods and exercises that help balance hormonal issues and inflammation. And One & Done program that focuses on to a comprehensive fitness program. :)
Hi Meredith, I've loved spinach, BUT because i have osteoporosis, i hear spinach leaches the calcium from my bones. Do you have any alternatives or a way i can still use spinach without oxalates
Hi @rubyannmariedillon1754! 👋 Thank you for supporting. You can actually substitute Spinach to Strawberries, Blueberries, Raspberries, or Blackberries. It's up to your taste. ❤😊
Could you please tell us when to drink the smoothie for losing weight? In the Morning, afternoon or it does not matter?
Hey Sahar! You can choose to have this smoothie for breakfast or a snack in between meals 👍🏻
@@MeredithShirkandSvelteTraining in wich of the programs? I Just finish the 10 days
And now what?
@@marianamitchell575 I just finished my 10 days too and was wondering whats next, after the 10 days, do we juat start making our own meals using the super food influencer in each one?
Hey Meredith, I'm wondering if this shake can replace a meal (breakfast/lunch) or would you need to add a protein powder for that?
I don't recommend it as a meal replacement, it's more of a snack!! If you absolutely want it as a meal, make sure you add protein powder to make it more nutritious and filling😋
What could you use instead of banana?
You can sub Banana for canned Pumpkin! 😊
Hi Mere. Do you add water/almond milk to the almonds in a blender to get a butter-like consistency?
Hi Kate! To achieve a butter-like consistency when blending almonds, you can add a small amount of water or almond milk, depending on your preference. This helps in the blending process and creates a smoother texture. Just be cautious about the proportions to maintain the desired consistency. Enjoy your delicious chocolate weight-loss smoothie! 😋🍫
What if you are allergic to nuts? What can you replace it with? Thank you.
Yes I’m waiting on the same answer. I can actually have peanuts, no almonds
You can use any of these substitutes:
• Pumpkin Seeds
(Pepitas)
• Sunflower Seeds
You can use any of these substitutes:
• Pumpkin Seeds
(Pepitas)
• Sunflower Seeds
What type of cinnamon are you using in all of these smoothies? Cassia? Ceylon? I heard in terms of health that makes a big difference but I’m not sure.
Any type of cinnamon is okay to use. It does depend on you preference ♥
Awesome, could I use Kale as a substitute for spinach?
Yes!! That's a great substitution💚
I am taking medication for ADHD and I need good dose of protein the morning. Can I drink this smoothie? Is ut enough protein there ? What should I add in order to hsve then more ?
Hello Madziaza! 👋 I'm glad you're considering incorporating this smoothie into your routine! The recipe already includes a good source of protein from the spinach and almond butter. However, if you require additional protein, you can add a scoop of your favorite protein powder or some Greek yogurt. ❤️ It's always best to consult with your healthcare provider or a registered dietitian to ensure the smoothie meets your specific dietary needs. Happy blending! 😊💪
What if you can’t stand almond milk? Can you sub that with coconut milk or lactose free milk?
Absolutely, @legendarymage89! ✅ Coconut milk or lactose-free milk are great substitutes. Enjoy! ❤️
I tried this today , goofed up , I put in about 1/4 cup a avocado) I tried to do from memory :( hope I didn’t Negate the results
No worries at all! Experimenting is all part of the fun. Avocado can add creaminess and a unique taste, so your creation might turn out to be a delightful twist on the original. If the results aren't exactly as expected, it's all part of the learning process. Enjoy!
When is it OK to have this shake and how often?
Hey there! 🥰 You can have this smoothie for breakfast until you reach your desired result! ☺️
Hello, I’m allergic to all nuts except peanuts. Can I use peanut butter or just omit. I will use coconut milk
You can use any of these substitutes:
• Pumpkin Seeds
(Pepitas)
• Sunflower Seeds
What can be used in place of almond butter do to allergies?
Hi Meredith, one question: can I use almonds instead of almond butter?
You can blend the almonds until they turn into a creamy consistency similar to almond butter. If not, you can chop the almonds finely and mix them into your recipe. Enjoy your creation! 🌰
Thought I saw Meredith offering info on time to eat and maybe food combos to loose weight but can’t find it in my pkg. was I imagining ?? Or where doo I find it
If you purchased the MetaBoost Connection program, you should be able to see that on the member's dashboard. ♥
Hi Merdith luv ur videos. Cn I substitute almond milk fr oats unsweetened milk?
Hey there! Thank you🥰 Yes, you can.
What about using natural peanut butter if you don't have any almond butter on hand?
There’s no rules when it comes to cooking, if something needs to be switched for allergic purposes or just simply you think would taste better then don’t hesitate to put your own flare in it. I’m just showing you what I believe is the tastiest and healthiest :)
@@MeredithShirkandSvelteTraining Cool, I will use almond butter as well.
Can I use oat milk? And how do I adjust the recepy then? I am sensitive to using to much nut milks
As long as it's unsweetened milk.😊
If I don't have almond butter, can I add almonds ?
Hi @sandyderobles2025! A good alternative for almond butter would include cashew butter, sunflower butter or walnut butter! ❤️
Can Kale be used as a substitute for the spinach?
Of course! :)
what to use instead of the almond products? almond is an alergy...?
You can substitute almond butter with cashew butter, sunflower butter, or walnut butter. For the almond milk, you can replace it with cashew milk, oat milk, coconut milk, hemp milk, or rice milk. 👍😊
Hi there! Can almond milk be substituted for regular milk like low fat milk or similar? Thank you 😊
You can use any unsweetened milk💚
Hi Mere! I’d like to try this yummy recipe! I just tried your metaboost metabolic flush program today and I loved the recipes in there, but I’m having a hard time digesting the raw spinach in the smoothies (they make me feel nauseous). Any suggestions?
Hey Stefania! 😊 If you feeling nauseous after drinking a smoothie with Spinach in it, you can choose to just omit the Spinach 👍🏻
👍 this! What substitutes can I use for banana? Allergic to them
@@108Ultraviolet I don't know if like um, but an almost match nutrient wise is avocado and you could substitute some organic pure maple syrup to your taste for sweetening.
Probably like a half avocado 🥑, coach Mere usually uses that amt.
Do you have a smoothie cookbook or any recipe cookbooks?
Yes, you can get our complete recipes when you sign up with our program.
I'm allergic to almonds AND bananas. Am I doomed? :) What are reasonable replacements (am fine with seeds, peanuts, and most other fruits)
No worries! You can substitute almond butter with cashew butter, sunflower butter, or walnut butter. For the almond milk, you have the option to replace it with cashew milk, oat milk, coconut milk, hemp milk, or rice milk. If you can't have bananas, you can try canned pumpkin, avocado, or sweet potato as alternatives. 👍😊
Chocolate protein powder instead of cacao powder???
Hi Rosie😳, you can use Chocolate protein powder instead of cacao podwer but enure it never have added sugars, it should be all natural and contain at least 70% cacao to guarantee you’re getting maximum weight loss benefits!😍🥰
What about protein powder? Can you use some protein powder in it?
Yes👌
can you use any fruit?? i dont like bananas.
Yes, @lisashaull6841! You can try to use avocado as an alternative to banana. ✅
I am allergic to banana, what can I use to replace it.
Hi there! 😊 You can substitute the banana half of an Avocado 👍🏻
I cannot find almond butter in my country. Any replacement?
Blend up your own almonds 😊
Would this chocolate smoothie work without the cinnamon? I am allergic.
It's okay, @kathybutcher7305! 😉 You can omit cinnamon from the recipe and still benefit from the other ingredients. ✅
Thank you!
Anytime!💕
I can drink smoothie.
I love smoothies!

@@MeredithShirkandSvelteTraining Great! Thanks so much. I was reading C’s comment about how to get reduced my belly fat? I had two back to back surgeries back in 1991 and I have a permanent zipper with belly fat uneven on both sides. How can I reduce that area? Sounds like I am vain but no but have diabetes and I would like to find a way to get off these meds I’m on. Thanks 😊
what if I am allergic to almonds/tree nuts? What do you suggest?
You can use chia seeds, flaxseed, or hemp seeds! 😁👍
Can I add peanut home made butter if i do not have almonds?
Yes, that's fine!! I love homemade peanut butter🥰
I’m allergic to bananas 🍌 so are there any other foods that could be as good?
You can substitute bananas with avocado, mango, cooked sweet potatoes, Greek yogurt, or silken tofu. 🥑🥭🍠🥛
Oh I’ve found answers to my question in the comments below
Is this a meal replacement drink?
If you add protein powder, it can be!🤩
Can you substitute the spinach as we're allergic to it
Absolutely! Just be sure to adjust quantities as needed since the flavors and textures can vary. Enjoy your meal! 🥬🌿😊
@@MeredithShirkandSvelteTraining thank you 😊
@@amandamiller7513 you're welcome ♥
I'm allergic to bananas, what can I use instead?
You can put avocadoes instead 🙂
What brand of cacoa powder do you use & where to buy it?
You can use any that can be purchased at local grocery stores near you. 🛒
Do you add anything else I make the almond butter
Your almond butter addition sounds delicious and nutritious! Almond butter can add creaminess and a nutty flavor while providing healthy fats and protein. Feel free to customize the recipe to suit your taste preferences. Enjoy your smoothie! 🍌🥤
Whenever making your own almond butter do I only add almonds to the blender
Yes, @sarahmcvey3380! 😊 When making almond butter at home, you typically only need almonds as the main ingredient. Some people also like to add sweeteners like honey or maple syrup for a sweeter almond butter. But if you prefer a pure almond flavor, you can simply blend almonds until they reach your desired consistency without any additional ingredients. 🥤❤️
Does cacao have a lot of caffeine?
Cacao powder contains some caffeine, but the amount is generally lower compared to coffee. Additionally, raw cacao tends to have less caffeine than processed cocoa. Enjoy your recipes! 🍫☕
Finally someone who is messy like me. Lol!
It's very delicious, @susankahn3655! You can also try this! ☺❤
