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 tablespoon cashew butter
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • a few ice cubes

Equipment

  • Blender

Method
 

Step 1: Gather Your Goodies & Load the Blender
  1. Start by adding the milk to your blender. Next, add the fresh baby spinach, sliced ripe banana, cashew butter, ground cardamom, and a few ice cubes. Layering the liquid first, followed by softer ingredients, then harder ones, helps ensure even blending.
Step 2: Blend to Silky Perfection
  1. Secure the lid on your blender. Begin blending on a low speed, then gradually increase to high speed. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, with no visible spinach flecks or banana chunks, typically 30-60 seconds. If needed, adjust consistency by adding more milk/water for thickness or ice/frozen banana for thinness. Pour immediately and enjoy.

Notes

For the best texture, always use a very ripe, ideally frozen banana. Add liquids first to your blender for optimal blending. This smoothie is best enjoyed immediately but can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Consider adding chia seeds or flaxseed for extra fiber.
