Method
 

Step 1: Assemble Your Ingredients
  1. Gather all your ingredients. For optimal blending, add liquids first, then softer ingredients, followed by ice.
Step 2: Load the Blender
  1. Add 1 cup of milk (or dairy substitute) to your blender jar. Then, add 2 cups of fresh baby spinach, followed by the banana. Include the tiny pinch of flaky sea salt and the bright squeeze of fresh lime juice. Finally, add a few ice cubes, adjusting the quantity if your banana is frozen.
Step 3: Blend to Perfection
  1. Secure the lid and blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, with no visible spinach flecks. If necessary, pause and scrape down the sides to ensure all ingredients are incorporated. Blend until a velvety, uniform drink is achieved.
