  • 1 medium banana (fresh or frozen)
  • ½ cup sliced strawberries, blueberries, or chopped mango

Dairy & Nut Butter

  • ¼ cup plain 2% Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon almond butter

Greens

  • ½ cup baby spinach

Liquid

  • ½ cup unsweetened almond milk

Optional Flavorings

  • 1–2 basil leaves
  • 2–3 mint leaves
  • ½ teaspoon grated ginger

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all the ingredients including your choice of fruit, Greek yogurt, almond butter, spinach, almond milk, and optional herbs or ginger.
  2. Add to Blender: Place the banana, ½ cup of your chosen fruit, ¼ cup Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon almond butter, ½ cup baby spinach, and ½ cup unsweetened almond milk into a blender. Add 1-2 basil leaves or 2-3 mint leaves or ½ teaspoon of grated ginger if desired for added flavor.

  4. Serve Immediately: Pour the smoothie into a glass and enjoy right away to maximize freshness and nutrient retention.

Notes

  • You can substitute the almond milk with any other plant-based or dairy milk of your choice.
  • Frozen fruits can be used in place of fresh to give the smoothie a colder, thicker texture.
  • Adding protein powder or chia seeds can increase the protein and fiber content for an extra nutritional boost.
  • This smoothie can be prepared ahead, stored in an airtight container in the fridge up to 24 hours, but best enjoyed fresh.
  • Adjust the sweetness by choosing fruits like mango for a naturally sweeter taste or adding a touch of honey if needed.
