Ingredients
- 1 banana
- 1 cup spinach
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1 tablespoon almond butter
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1/2 cup ice
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all the ingredients: 1 banana, 1 cup of fresh spinach, 1 cup of almond milk, 1 tablespoon of almond butter, 1 tablespoon of chia seeds, and 1/2 cup of ice.
- Peel the banana and break it into smaller pieces. This will help it blend more easily.
- In a blender, add the banana pieces, 1 cup of spinach, 1 cup of almond milk, 1 tablespoon of almond butter, and 1 tablespoon of chia seeds.
- Add the 1/2 cup of ice to the blender. This will give your smoothie a refreshing chill and a thicker texture.
- Secure the lid on the blender tightly to prevent any spills during blending.
- Blend the mixture on high speed for about 30-60 seconds, or until all the ingredients are well combined and the smoothie is smooth and creamy.
- Stop the blender and check the consistency. If the smoothie is too thick for your liking, you can add a little more almond milk and blend again until you reach your desired consistency.
- Once blended to your satisfaction, pour the smoothie into two glasses.
- Optionally, you can garnish the smoothies with a sprinkle of chia seeds or a few spinach leaves for a decorative touch.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing, dairy-free green smoothie!
Tips
- For the creamiest texture, use a ripe banana - the more spots, the better!
- Freeze your banana beforehand for an extra thick and frosty smoothie.
- If you want to boost nutrition, try adding a handful of kale or a scoop of plant-based protein powder.
- Use a high-powered blender for the smoothest consistency.
- Always add liquids first, then soft ingredients, and ice last to prevent your blender from getting stuck.
- Experiment with different nut milks like coconut or oat milk for variety.
- Prep your ingredients the night before for an even faster morning routine.
