Prepare the ingredients.
Peel the banana and break it into chunks for easier blending. Wash the fresh spinach thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or grit. Measure out one scoop of whey protein powder and 250 ml of low-fat milk.
Tip: Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and a creamier texture. -
Add ingredients to blender.
Place the banana chunks, washed spinach, whey protein powder, and low-fat milk into the blender jar. Make sure the lid fits securely to avoid spills.
Tip: Add liquid first to help the blades move smoothly. -
Blend until smooth.
Start the blender at a low speed, then gradually increase to high. Blend for about 30-60 seconds or until the mixture is smooth and creamy with no visible spinach leaves or lumps.
Tip: If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more milk and blend again. -
Serve immediately.
Pour the smoothie into a glass and enjoy immediately to get the best flavor and nutritional benefits.
