Ingredients

  • 1 ripe banana (preferably frozen)
  • 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
  • 3/4 cup milk (dairy or plant-based like almond, oat, or coconut)
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (optional)
  • 1–2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (optional, to taste)
  • 3–4 ice cubes

Instructions

  1. Add banana, spinach, milk, and Greek yogurt (if using) to a blender.

  3. Add a few ice cubes for a thicker, colder smoothie.
  4. Blend on high until completely smooth and vibrant green.
  5. Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • Use frozen banana for a thick, creamy texture without needing much ice.
  • Greek yogurt boosts protein and adds a tangy creaminess.
  • For a dairy-free version, use plant-based milk and yogurt.
  • Adjust sweetness depending on banana ripeness.
