What to keep in mind.
4 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.
- 1For an extra thick, ice-cream-like consistency, use minimal liquid and the blender's tamper to push ingredients down.
- 2Freeze your spinach in a bag for an even colder, thicker smoothie without watering it down with ice.
- 3Feel free to customize your toppings with other favorites like coconut flakes, sliced almonds, or a drizzle of almond butter.
- 4If you don't have a high-speed blender, blend the spinach and almond milk first to create a smooth liquid base, then add the remaining ingredients.
