Instructions:

Begin by washing the fresh spinach thoroughly to remove any dirt or pesticides. Once clean, place the spinach in a blender as your base ingredient.

Peel the ripe banana and add it to the blender with the spinach. The banana will provide natural sweetness and creaminess to the smoothie.

Pour in the unsweetened almond milk, which will serve as the liquid base for your smoothie. You can substitute this with other milk alternatives if desired.

If you choose to add almond butter or chia seeds for extra nutrition, now is the time to include them in the blender. These ingredients will enhance the flavor and add healthy fats and fiber.

For a fruity twist, toss in the frozen berries of your choice. Blueberries, strawberries, or raspberries work exceptionally well to complement the smoothie.

Blend all the ingredients together on high speed until you achieve a smooth, creamy consistency. If the mixture is too thick, add a little more almond milk until you reach your desired texture.

Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness if needed by adding honey or maple syrup, blending again briefly to combine.

Pour the smoothie into a glass, and if desired, garnish with a few berries or a sprinkle of chia seeds on top.

For the best results, use ripe fruits for maximum sweetness and flavor.

Additionally, if you want to make your smoothie ahead of time, consider prepping and freezing your fruits and veggies in individual bags. This will save you time during busy mornings and keep your smoothie ingredients fresh and ready to blend.

Finally, feel free to customize your smoothie by incorporating different greens, seeds, or even protein powders based on your dietary preferences. Enjoy your healthy and delicious smoothie!
