Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • Half a large or 1 small very ripe banana
  • 1 cup milk (or dairy substitute)
  • 2 cups fresh baby spinach

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Ice Cube Tray

Method
 

Prep Your Ingredients
  1. First, prepare your spinach using the signature technique. Combine 2 cups of fresh baby spinach with about 1/4 cup of water or milk in a blender. Blend until smooth, then pour into an ice cube tray and freeze until solid. If using a frozen banana, peel, slice, and freeze your ripe banana until solid.
Load Your Blender
  1. Pour 1 cup of milk (or dairy substitute) into your blender. Add your frozen banana slices (or fresh ripe banana), followed by the pre-frozen spinach cubes (or fresh spinach if not using the freezing technique). If desired, add a few ice cubes last for extra chill.
Blend to Perfection
  1. Blend on low speed, then gradually increase to high. Continue blending for 30-60 seconds until the mixture is completely sweet, creamy, and smooth with no discernible spinach taste or green flecks. Scrape down the sides if needed. Enjoy immediately!

Notes

Enjoy immediately for best taste. Prep ahead by freezing spinach cubes and banana slices for quick blending. This smoothie is a powerhouse of vitamins, minerals, and fiber.
