Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 banana
- 1 cup spinach
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1 tablespoon honey
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and ensure they are fresh and washed thoroughly. Remove banana peel and break the banana into smaller chunks.
- Rinse the spinach leaves carefully and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- Place the Greek yogurt in a blender first to create a smooth base for the smoothie. This helps prevent ingredients from sticking to the bottom of the blender.
- Add the banana chunks and fresh spinach leaves to the blender on top of the yogurt.
- Pour the almond milk into the blender, ensuring it covers the other ingredients to help with blending.
- Drizzle honey over the ingredients to add natural sweetness to the smoothie.
- Secure the blender lid tightly and blend on high speed for 45-60 seconds until all ingredients are completely smooth and well combined.
- Stop the blender and check the consistency. If too thick, add a little more almond milk. If too thin, add a few ice cubes or more banana.
- Pour the smoothie into two glasses, dividing equally.
- Optional: Garnish with a small spinach leaf or a banana slice on the rim of the glass for presentation.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your nutritious breakfast smoothie.
Tips
- Use frozen banana chunks for an extra thick and creamy texture without adding ice.
- Choose fresh, organic spinach for maximum nutritional benefits and flavor.
- For a protein boost, consider adding a scoop of your favorite protein powder.
- Always blend yogurt first to create a smoother consistency and prevent ingredient clumping.
- Experiment with different milk alternatives like coconut or oat milk for variety.
- Prep ingredients the night before to make morning blending even faster.
- Invest in a high-powered blender for the smoothest possible result.
- If you're not a fan of spinach, try substituting with kale or mixed greens.
- Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of honey or using ripe bananas.
- Drink your smoothie immediately to preserve maximum nutritional value and freshness.
