Equipment
- High Speed Blender
- Folding spatula
- Glass or jar for serving
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 handful fresh spinach about 1 cup loosely packed
- 1 frozen banana sliced into chunks
- 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt plain or vanilla
- 1 teaspoon honey optional, for sweetness
- 1 splash lemon juice freshly squeezed
Instructions
- Pour the almond milk into your high-speed blender, creating a smooth liquid base.
- Add a handful of fresh spinach on top of the liquid. The vibrant green color will start to show through as you layer the greens.
- Place the frozen banana chunks into the blender, which will add creaminess and natural sweetness once blended.
- Scoop in the Greek yogurt and drizzle the honey over everything. This will give the smoothie richness and a subtle floral sweetness.
- Squeeze a splash of fresh lemon juice into the blender to brighten the flavors and cut through the earthiness of the greens.
- Secure the lid and blend on high for about 30-45 seconds, until the mixture is silky smooth and vividly green, with no lumps remaining.
- Check the consistency; if it’s too thick, add a splash more almond milk and blend briefly. If it’s too thin, toss in a few more frozen banana pieces and blend again until the texture is perfect.
- Pause briefly to smell the fresh citrus aroma, which signals the bright, refreshing flavor of your smoothie.
- Pour the smoothie into a glass or jar—this vibrant green drink is now ready to be enjoyed immediately or stored in the fridge for later.
Notes
Feel free to customize with other greens or fruits. For extra creaminess, add a spoonful of nut butter or sprinkle some chia seeds on top before serving.
