Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • Half a large or 1 small very ripe banana
  • 1 cup milk (or dairy substitute)
  • 2 cups fresh baby spinach
  • 1-2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2%)
  • A few ice cubes

Equipment

  • Blender

Method
 

Step 1: Gather & Load Your Blender
  1. Start by gathering all your ingredients. For optimal blending, always add liquids to your blender first. Pour in your milk, followed by the Greek yogurt. Then, add your spinach, banana, and finally, a few ice cubes. This layering helps the blades catch and process everything efficiently, creating that desired creamy texture.
Step 2: Blend to Perfection
  1. Secure the lid on your blender. Begin blending on a low speed to incorporate the ingredients, then gradually increase to high. Blend until the smoothie is completely smooth and creamy, with no visible bits of spinach. You'll know it's ready when it has a uniform, vibrant green color and a thick, luscious consistency. If your blender has a tamper, use it to push ingredients down towards the blades for an even smoother result.

Notes

Enjoy this smoothie immediately for optimal taste and nutrition. For ultimate creaminess, use frozen banana and pre-chilled milk. Boost satiety with additions like chia seeds, nut butter, or avocado. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for no more than 1-2 hours.
