I’ll admit it—I never expected one of my favorite green smoothies to come from a Snoop Dogg cookbook.

My curiosity was sparked by his unlikely friendship with Martha Stewart, so when I came across this spinach and citrus smoothie in From Crook to Cook, I had to give it a try. I’m so glad I did because it’s earned a regular spot in my breakfast rotation.

Made with fresh spinach, oranges, banana, coconut water, and an optional scoop of protein powder, it’s naturally sweet (affiliate link), refreshing, and surprisingly satisfying. What I appreciate most is that it doesn’t taste overly “green,” even though it’s packed with spinach.

It’s one of those recipes that reminds me to keep an open mind. Good ideas can come from unexpected places, and this smoothie is proof. If you’re looking for an easy way to add a few more greens to your morning without sacrificing flavor, I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised too.

Snoop Dog Smoothie Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh spinach – a nutrient powerhouse, rich in vitamins A, C, K, and folate, as well as minerals like iron and calcium. It adds a vibrant green color and contributes fiber for digestive health. I opted for baby spinach is mild and blends well. You can also use kale or Swiss chard for a slightly different flavor and texture.
  • 1 medium orange, peeled and quartered – packed with Vitamin C, it adds a bright, citrusy flavor to the smoothie. I substituted two mandarins. Try tangerines or even grapefruit for a twist.
  • 1 medium banana, sliced – provide natural creamy sweetness, potassium for heart health and muscle function, and dietary fiber for digestion. For lower sugar options, try using half a banana or substitute with frozen mango or pineapple for sweetness.
  • 2 cups coconut water – provides the sweet and hydrating liquid for this smoothie. Feel free to substitute water, almond milk or dairy milk for creaminess, or fruit juice for extra flavor.
  • 2 tablespoons protein powder (optional) – adds protein to the smoothie, which helps keep you full and supports muscle repair and growth. Choose a protein powder based on your dietary preferences (whey, plant-based like pea protein, soy, etc.). Flavored or unflavored varieties can be used based on taste preferences. I opted for vanilla whey protein powder sweetened with stevia.

Step 2: Place all the ingredients in a blender (affiliate link) and blend on high until smooth and creamy. Serve immediately.

Recipe Notes, Substitutions and Variations

  • Colder: I like to add a few ice cubes to make this extra cool and satisfying.
  • Sweeteners: Add a touch of honey, maple syrup, or a Medjool date if you prefer a sweeter smoothie. Or stick with your favorite calorie free sweetener for lower WW Points.
  • Greens: Experiment with other leafy greens like kale, Swiss chard, or arugula for different flavors and nutrients.
  • Fruits: Mix and match fruits based on seasonal availability or personal taste preferences.
  • Enhancements: Boost the nutrition with additions like chia seeds, flaxseed meal, Greek yogurt, or nut butter for added protein and healthy fats.

Calories and Weight Watchers Points

According to my calculations, each serving has 120 calories and 4 WW Points.
(According to WW, because this is a beverage the fruit Points count. Because I’m a WW rebel who doesn’t overindulge in fruit, I only count the coconut water and optional protein powder in this smoothie.)

This smoothie is low in fat and provides a good balance of carbohydrates, protein, fiber, and essential vitamins and minerals, making it a nutritious option for a meal or snack.

Though the original recipe states it makes 1 serving, it makes two large glasses, so I have turned it into a 2-serving recipe.
