Equipment
- 1 Blender
- 1 Chopping-board
- 1 Knife
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
- 1 ripe banana peeled and sliced
- 1/2 cup frozen mixed berries such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries
- 1/2 cup almond milk or any milk of your choice
Instructions
- First, thoroughly wash the spinach leaves to remove any dirt. Then, peel and slice the banana into smaller pieces for easier blending. Measure out the frozen mixed berries and almond milk.
- Next, place the spinach leaves, banana slices, mixed berries, and almond milk into the blender.
- Blend the ingredients on low speed initially to break them down, then gradually increase to high speed. Continue blending until the mixture is smooth and creamy, without any visible chunks.
- If the smoothie is too thick, add more almond milk gradually until reaching the desired consistency. Blend briefly to incorporate any added liquid.
- Taste the smoothie and adjust the sweetness if necessary. Consider adding a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup for extra sweetness, if desired. Blend briefly to mix in the sweetener.
- Once satisfied with the taste and consistency, pour the smoothie into glasses. Optionally, garnish with a few fresh berries or a sprig of mint.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing and nutritious green smoothie!
Notes
- Ingredient Quality: Opt for fresh, organic spinach leaves to maximize flavor and nutritional value.
- Banana Ripeness: Choose a ripe banana for natural sweetness and a smoother texture in the smoothie.
