Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh baby spinach packed tightly
- 2 whole bananas frozen and sliced for best texture
- 2 tbsp creamy peanut butter natural, unsweetened
- 1.5 cups unsweetened almond milk or any plant-based milk
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt plain or vanilla for extra protein
- 1 tbsp chia seeds for fiber and omega-3s
- 1 tsp honey optional, to taste
- 0.5 tsp vanilla extract for aromatic depth
Notes
For the thickest texture, always use frozen bananas. If the smoothie is too thick, add extra almond milk one tablespoon at a time. You can store leftovers in an airtight jar for up to 24 hours, though some separation is natural; simply shake well before drinking. To make it vegan, substitute the Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt and use maple syrup instead of honey.
