Ingredients
  

  • 1 ripe banana
  • 1 cup milk dairy or plant-based
  • 1 small handful fresh spinach
  • 1 tbsp nut or seed butter
  • 1 tsp honey optional
  • 3 ice cubes

Instructions
 

  • Add all ingredients to your blender.
  • Blend on high speed until smooth and creamy (about 1 minute).
  • Pour into a glass and serve immediately for best texture.
  • Enjoy as-is or top with granola for added crunch!

Notes

💡 Clever Tip:

Freeze ripe bananas in advance and use frozen chunks instead of ice for an extra-creamy smoothie without diluting flavor!

Helpful Tips

  • Don't over-blend or the smoothie becomes watery
  • Use frozen spinach to make it thicker without extra ice
  • Make ahead: blend in the morning for a grab-and-go breakfast
