Prep Your Ingredients
- Before blending, peel your very ripe banana; if using frozen, grab your pre-portioned chunks. Measure out your milk, spinach, collagen peptides, and fresh lemon juice to ensure everything is ready for a quick blend.
Load the Blender
- For optimal blending, always add the liquid first. Pour your milk (or dairy substitute) into the blender. Next, add the spinach, followed by your banana, collagen peptides, and fresh lemon juice. Finally, toss in a few ice cubes if you're using fresh banana and desire a colder, thicker consistency.
Blend Until Smooth
- Secure the lid on your blender and begin blending on a lower speed, gradually increasing to high. Blend until your Boosted Spinach Banana Smoothie is completely smooth, creamy, and vibrant green. For the best texture and to ensure no spinach flecks remain, blend for at least 60 seconds or until you achieve your desired consistency. Use a tamper if your blender has one to push ingredients down.
Serve Immediately
- Pour your freshly made Boosted Spinach Banana Smoothie into your favorite glass and savor every delicious, nutrient-packed sip. Enjoying it immediately ensures optimal taste, texture, and nutrient potency.
Notes
Pro Tip: Always use very ripe bananas (with brown/black spots) for natural sweetness and creamy texture. For an extra frosty and thick smoothie, use a frozen banana, which often eliminates the need for ice cubes. Remember the golden rule for blending: liquids go in first for efficient operation. Smoothies are best savored immediately after blending for peak freshness and nutrient potency.
Customization: To make this already nutritious smoothie into a more substantial meal, consider adding a tablespoon of your favorite nut butter (like almond or peanut), a tablespoon of flaxseed or rolled oats for extra fiber, or a quarter of an avocado for healthy fats and even more creaminess.
