Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup baby spinach
  • 1 frozen banana
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon peanut or almond butter
  • 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed or chia seeds
  • 3/4 cup milk of choice
  • 3 to 4 ice cubes (optional)

Method
 

  1. Add the milk and spinach to the blender first and blend until the spinach is completely smooth.
  2. Add the remaining ingredients and blend until creamy.
  3. Taste and add more milk for a thinner smoothie or more ice for a thicker one.

Notes

Tips: Keep sliced bananas in the freezer so you always have smoothie bases ready. Swap spinach for kale (remove the tough stems first). Add 1/2 cup frozen mango or pineapple for a tropical twist.
