Step 1: The Smooth Spinach Secret
- First, add the 2 cups of fresh baby spinach to your blender. Pour in about 1/4 to 1/2 cup of your chosen milk (or dairy substitute) – just enough to help the spinach blend. Secure the lid and blend on high until the spinach is completely pulverized. What you're looking for is a vibrant green, perfectly smooth liquid with absolutely no visible flecks or chunks of spinach. This is the magic that ensures your smoothie is silky smooth!
Step 2: Add Remaining Ingredients
- Now, add the half large or 1 small very ripe banana (especially if frozen!) and the remaining milk into the blender with your smooth spinach mixture. Toss in a few ice cubes to achieve that desirable frosty chill.
Step 3: Final Blend and Enjoy!
- Blend everything together on high until the smoothie is thick, wonderfully creamy, and completely uniform in color and texture. Pour your beautiful, vibrant green creation into a glass and enjoy immediately for the best taste and consistency!
Notes
This glorious green smoothie is best enjoyed right after making for optimal taste, texture, and nutrient content. Garnish with a banana slice or chia seeds if desired. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, but some separation and color dulling may occur; stir well before drinking.
