Scale
Produce
- 1 cup fresh spinach (or kale)
- 1 frozen banana
- 1/2 cup frozen pineapple or mango chunks
- 1/2 avocado (for creaminess)
- juice of 1/2 lemon or lime (optional, for brightness)
Liquids
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
Optional Add-ins
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds or flaxseed (optional)
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
Instructions
- Add Ingredients to Blender: Place the spinach, frozen banana, frozen pineapple or mango chunks, avocado, and almond milk into a high-speed blender. This combination will create a smooth and creamy base for your smoothie.
- Blend Until Smooth: Blend the mixture on high speed until it reaches a creamy and smooth consistency with no chunks remaining.
- Add Optional Ingredients: If using, add chia seeds or flaxseed, sweetener like honey or maple syrup, and lemon or lime juice for extra flavor and nutrition. Blend again briefly to incorporate these ingredients evenly.
- Taste and Adjust: Sample your smoothie and adjust the sweetness or thickness as desired by adding more almond milk for a thinner texture or a few ice cubes for a colder, thicker smoothie. Blend again if needed.
- Serve Immediately: Pour the smoothie into a glass and enjoy immediately while fresh and chilled.
Notes
- Swap spinach with kale or any leafy greens you prefer for variety.
- Add a scoop of protein powder or Greek yogurt for an added protein boost, especially post-workout.
- Great for breakfast, a snack, or a nutrient-packed start to any day.
