Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 small very ripe banana (or half a large)
  • 1 cup milk (or dairy substitute)
  • 2 cups fresh baby spinach
  • 1/4 cup full-fat Greek yogurt
  • A small pinch freshly grated ginger
  • A few ice cubes

Equipment

  • Blender

Method
 

Prep & Layer Your Ingredients
  1. Pour the milk (or dairy substitute) into your blender. Add the fresh baby spinach close to the blades. Follow with the ripe banana (fresh or frozen chunks), full-fat Greek yogurt, a small pinch of freshly grated ginger, and a few ice cubes.
Blend to Perfection
  1. Secure the lid on your blender. Begin blending on low speed, gradually increasing to high. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth, creamy, and vibrant green, with no visible spinach flecks. If necessary, pause, scrape down the sides, and continue blending until smooth. This may take 1-2 minutes.
Serve & Enjoy!
  1. Once smooth, pour the Spinach Banana Smoothie into a glass. Serve and enjoy immediately for optimal freshness and texture.

Notes

This vibrant green smoothie is best enjoyed immediately. For quick prep, pre-portion and freeze spinach and banana chunks.
