- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 ripe banana, 1 cup of spinach, 1 cup of almond milk, 3 pitted dates, 1 tablespoon of chia seeds, and a handful of ice cubes.
- Peel the ripe banana and break it into smaller pieces. This will help it blend more easily.

- Add a handful of ice cubes to the blender for a refreshing chill and to thicken the smoothie.
- Blend all the ingredients on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no chunks of spinach or dates left.

- Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness if necessary by adding more dates or a sweetener of your choice.
- Once blended to your satisfaction, pour the smoothie into a glass.
- Optionally, you can sprinkle a few extra chia seeds on top for added texture and nutrition before serving.
