Ingredients
1 kiwi, peeled and chopped
1 cup fresh spinach, loosely packed
1 frozen banana, sliced
1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
1 tablespoon chia seeds
4–5 ice cubes
Optional: Granola for topping
Instructions
Peel the kiwi and remove the ends, then dice into chunks.
Add the kiwi, frozen banana, and fresh spinach to the blender.
Pour in the unsweetened vanilla almond milk and add the tablespoon of chia seeds.
Drop in the ice cubes for a frosty consistency.
Pulse on low speed, then increase to high for 45 seconds until smooth.
Pour into a tall glass and top with optional granola if desired.
