Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups fresh spinach baby spinach works best
  • 1 frozen ripe banana
  • 2 tablespoons almond butter
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or any milk you like
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup optional, for extra sweetness
  • A handful of ice cubes
Optional add-ins:
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds or flaxseeds
  • A scoop of vanilla protein powder
  • A pinch of cinnamon

Method
 

  1. Add spinach and almond milk into your blender first. This makes the greens blend smoother.
  2. Drop in the frozen banana, almond butter, and honey (if using).
  3. Blend on high speed until smooth and creamy.
  4. Toss in a few ice cubes and blend again for a chilled, thicker texture.
  5. Pour into a tall glass and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Using a frozen banana makes the smoothie creamy like a milkshake. If you only have fresh bananas, add more ice.
  • Almond butter can be swapped with peanut butter, cashew butter, or sunflower seed butter.
  • Drink it fresh for the best taste—smoothies lose some nutrients if they sit too long.
