Description
This nutrient-dense green smoothie is the perfect quick breakfast for health and energy. By blending baby spinach with naturally sweet ripe banana and your choice of milk, you create a creamy, delicious drink. It masks the earthy flavor of leafy greens with the potassium-rich sweetness of fruit, ensuring a smooth, hydrated start to your morning. Ideal for those who want to pack vitamins into their diet without sacrificing taste or texture.
Ingredients
2 cups fresh baby spinach
0.5 large ripe banana
1 cup almond or soy milk
4 ice cubes
Instructions
Peel the ripe banana and slice it into thirds.
Place two cups of packed fresh baby spinach at the bottom of the blender pitcher.
Pour in the milk to establish a liquid base for proper blending.
Add the banana pieces and ice cubes on top of the liquid and greens.
Blend on high speed for exactly sixty seconds until the mixture is completely smooth with no leafy flecks.
Pour into a large glass and serve immediately.
Notes
Freeze your banana slices ahead of time for a thicker, ice-cream like consistency. Place greens and liquid in first to ensure they break down fully before adding solids. If using a standard blender, blending twice or longer may be necessary to remove all plant fiber texture.
