🍸 How To Make Green Smoothie

  1. Add ingredients to blender: Place spinach, banana, apple, almond milk, pineapple, and seeds into a blender.
  2. Blend until smooth: Process on high until creamy and bright green. Add ice cubes if you prefer a thicker smoothie.
  3. Adjust sweetness: Taste and add honey or agave if needed.
  4. Serve: Pour into glasses and enjoy immediately, garnished with chia seeds or apple slices if desired.

💭 Recipe Tips

  • Use frozen fruit: Frozen pineapple or mango makes the smoothie chilled and creamy without watering it down.
  • Balance flavors: The banana and pineapple naturally sweeten the greens. If using kale, add a little extra fruit for balance.
  • Boost protein: Blend in a scoop of protein powder, Greek yogurt, or nut butter.
  • Make it creamy: Swap almond milk for oat milk or coconut milk for a richer taste.
  • Prep ahead: Store chopped fruit in freezer bags for quick, ready-to-blend smoothies.

🧆 What To Serve Green Smoothie With?

This smoothie is filling on its own but pairs perfectly with avocado toast, granola, or overnight oats for a complete breakfast. For a lighter snack, enjoy it with a handful of almonds, a boiled egg, or veggie sticks with hummus.

🎚 How To Store Green Smoothie Leftovers?

  • Refrigerate: Store in a sealed jar or bottle for up to 24 hours. Shake well before drinking.
  • Freeze: Pour into ice cube trays and freeze. Blend frozen cubes with a splash of almond milk when ready to serve.
