Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup fresh spinach
  • 1 ripe banana (preferably frozen)
  • 1/2 inch fresh ginger peeled
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1-2 Medjool dates Optional: for extra sweetness

Equipment

  • High-Speed Blender

Method
 

Step 1: Build Your Base
  1. First, combine the fresh spinach and unsweetened almond milk in your high-speed blender. Blend until it’s silky smooth, ensuring no chunks and a perfectly vibrant green color.
Step 2: Add the Stars
  1. Next, add your frozen banana, peeled fresh ginger, and the chia seeds to the blender. The frozen banana is key for optimal cold and thick texture.
Step 3: Blend to Creamy Perfection
  1. Secure the lid and blend on high until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the mixture reaches a luxuriously creamy and velvety texture.
Step 4: Sweeten (If Desired) and Serve
  1. If you're using the optional Medjool dates for extra sweetness, add them now and blend again until completely smooth. Pour your delightful creation into a glass and serve immediately to enjoy its peak freshness.

Notes

Always use a frozen banana and add liquids first for the best texture. Adjust consistency by adding more liquid if too thick. While best enjoyed fresh, this smoothie can be prepped ahead by freezing dry ingredients in bags. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 24 hours.
