Ingredients

Scale

1 ripe, frozen banana (or substitute with 1 cup frozen mango)
2 cups fresh spinach
1 green apple, cored and sliced (Granny Smith recommended)
1 cup unsweetened almond milk or nut milk of choice
1 tablespoon chia seeds or flax seeds (optional for added nutrition)
Optional add-ins: protein powder, collagen, honey, or peanut butter
¼ avocado for added creaminess
¼ cup frozen pineapple for a tropical flavor

Instructions

1. Begin by blending the almond milk and spinach until the mixture is smooth to avoid spinach chunks.
2. Add the apple, banana, and any optional ingredients. Blend on high for 30 seconds to 1 minute, pausing to scrape the sides as needed to ensure even blending.
3. Adjust the smoothie consistency by adding water for a thinner texture or ice cubes for a thicker texture.

Notes

🥬 The combination of frozen banana and nut milk creates a creamy texture without the need for dairy.
🍌 Use baby spinach for a slightly sweeter and milder taste.
🥑 Adding avocado enhances creaminess and provides healthy fats for a more satisfying smoothie.
