🍌 Creamy Almond & Spinach Smoothie

🍌 Creamy Almond & Spinach Smoothie

Prep time: 5 minutes | Servings: 1

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Fresh baby spinach (packed)

  • 1 large Banana (frozen is best for a creamy texture)

  • 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or your preferred milk)

  • 1 tablespoon Almond butter (for extra creaminess)

  • 1/4 teaspoon Vanilla extract

  • Garnish: A few sliced almonds and a banana slice

Instructions

  1. Liquid First: Pour the almond milk into your blender. Adding liquid first helps the blades move more freely.

  2. Add Greens: Add the fresh spinach and blend on high for 30 seconds until the liquid is bright green and no leaf “specks” remain.

  3. Add Fruit & Fats: Add the frozen banana, almond butter, and vanilla extract.

  4. Blend: Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and thick.

  5. Serve: Pour into a glass, top with the sliced almonds, and enjoy immediately!


Pro-Tips for the Best Texture

  • The Banana Secret: If you use a room-temperature banana, add 1/2 cup of ice to get that chilled, frothy consistency seen in the photo.

  • Sweetness Level: If your banana isn’t very ripe, you can add a single pitted date or a teaspoon of honey/maple syrup to sweeten it up.

  • Boost It: Feel free to toss in a tablespoon of chia seeds or flax seeds for extra fiber and Omega-3s.
