Notes
Storage: This smoothie is best enjoyed immediately. If you must store it, pour into an airtight jar, leaving minimal air space, seal tightly, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Shake well before drinking as separation may occur. Make-Ahead: Prep a smoothie pack by placing the sliced banana, spinach, and chopped ginger in a freezer bag. Store in the freezer. In the morning, add the contents to the blender with the remaining liquid ingredients. Substitutions: Use any milk or yogurt you prefer. For a vegan version, use plant-based yogurt and maple syrup. A dash of cinnamon or turmeric can be added for extra warmth. For a protein boost, add a scoop of vanilla or unflavored protein powder.
