Method
 

Prep Your Ingredients
  1. Gather all your listed ingredients. Ensure your banana is very ripe for optimal sweetness and texture, or frozen if you prefer a thicker, frosty smoothie. Take a moment to grate your fresh ginger to the specified amount, or to your personal taste preference.
Add to Blender
  1. Place the fresh baby spinach into your blender first, right at the bottom nearest the blade. Follow with the banana, milk, grated ginger, collagen peptides (if using), and finally, a few ice cubes.
Blend Until Smooth
  1. Secure the lid on your blender and begin blending on a low speed, gradually increasing to high speed. Continue blending for 30-60 seconds, or until the mixture is completely smooth and wonderfully creamy. If needed, pause your blender and use a spatula to scrape down the sides, ensuring all the leafy greens are fully incorporated.
Serve Immediately
  1. Once blended to perfection, pour your Spinach Banana Smoothie into a glass and enjoy its vibrant flavor and delightful texture right away.

Notes

This vibrant, creamy smoothie gets a unique kick from fresh ginger and an optional protein boost from collagen. Perfect for a quick breakfast or snack, it's best enjoyed immediately. Use a frozen banana for a thicker, frostier drink.
