Ingredients
1 large kiwi, peeled and chopped
1 medium frozen banana
1 cup fresh spinach leaves, loosely packed
1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
1 tablespoon chia seeds
4–5 large ice cubes (optional)
Instructions
Peel and chop the kiwi into uniform chunks.
Measure out the loosely packed fresh spinach.
Pour the almond milk into the blender pitcher first to facilitate smooth blending.
Add the kiwi, frozen banana, spinach, chia seeds, and ice into the blender.
Pulse the mixture several times to break down the frozen banana.
Process on high speed for 60 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth and vibrant in color.
Pour into a glass and serve immediately.
Notes
You can substitute chia seeds with rolled oats if you prefer a different texture. For extra chilling without dilution, ensure the banana is fully frozen prior to blending. Store any leftover smoothie in an airtight container for up to 24 hours, though it is best consumed fresh.
