Green Smoothie Pancakes are a delicious breakfast that has the same main ingredients as a green smoothie: spinach, banana and Greek yogurt.
Green smoothies are a delicious, healthy drink. I usually like to freeze overripe bananas to use later to make smoothies. But I wanted to make something different with my overripe bananas. I decided to make Green Smoothie Pancakes. The pancakes contain the same basic green smoothie ingredients: spinach, banana and Greek yogurt. Green Smoothie Pancakes are a great way to add some fruit and vegetables to your morning breakfast.

Thank you for visiting Sugar, Spice and Family Life!
Love the addition of the spinach! Very creative
How fun! I love that you’ve added all the great things that go into a green smoothie into pancakes. I bet kids think these are just wild and love them 🙂
What type is Best? Fresh, Frozen or Canned Spinach
I have always used fresh. Personally, I would stay away from canned since it might have salt, preservatives or other ingredients added to it. If you thaw frozen spinach, it may work but I don’t know how well it will blend or how it would taste.
