The Spinach Pre-Blend for Ultimate Smoothness
  1. Add the 2 cups fresh baby spinach and 1 cup milk (or dairy substitute) to your blender. Secure the lid tightly. Blend on high speed until the spinach is completely pulverized and the mixture is perfectly smooth, vibrant green, and free of any visible flecks. This initial blend is the key to a chunk-free, "no grassy taste" smoothie, ensuring a truly creamy texture from the start.
Add Sweetness, Chill, and Balance
  1. Once your spinach and liquid are thoroughly blended, add the Half a large or 1 small very ripe banana (or your pre-frozen banana chunks) and a few ice cubes to the blender. Crucially, add a tiny pinch of Sea salt at this stage to enhance and balance the natural flavors of all the ingredients.
Final Blend & Enjoy
  1. Secure the lid again and blend until the mixture is thick, boasts a creamy texture, and is evenly combined. The smoothie should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, yet still pourable. Pour into your favorite glass and enjoy immediately!
