A refreshing and nutrient-packed smoothie that blends sweet banana and earthy spinach into a vibrant green drink. It’s a perfect healthy breakfast or post-workout snack, ready in just 5 minutes.
Load the blender correctly. Pour the unsweetened almond milk into the blender first. This helps the blades move freely and prevents ingredients from getting stuck.
Add the solid ingredients. Add the packed baby spinach, frozen banana slices, chia seeds, and almond butter to the blender.
Blend until smooth. Secure the lid and blend on high speed for 60 to 90 seconds, or until the smoothie is completely smooth and creamy with no visible spinach flecks. If it's too thick, add a splash more almond milk or water and blend for another 10 seconds.
Serve immediately. Pour the smoothie into two glasses. Enjoy right away for the best taste and texture.
