Prepare Ingredients.
Wash the fresh spinach thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt or grit. Peel the banana and break it into smaller pieces to make blending easier.
Tip: Using ripe bananas adds natural sweetness and creaminess to the smoothie. -
Add Ingredients to Blender.
Place the spinach, banana pieces, one scoop of vanilla whey protein powder, and one cup of unsweetened almond milk into the blender.
Tip: Add the almond milk last to help the blades move smoothly. -
Blend Until Smooth.
Secure the blender lid and blend on high speed for about 30 to 60 seconds, or until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Stop and scrape down the sides if needed to ensure everything is blended evenly.
Tip: If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more almond milk and blend again to reach your desired consistency. -
Serve and Enjoy.
Pour the smoothie into a glass and enjoy immediately for the best taste and texture.
Tip: You can add ice cubes before blending if you prefer a colder smoothie.
Pro tips
- Use frozen banana pieces to make the smoothie colder and thicker without adding ice.
- Add a tablespoon of chia seeds or flaxseeds for extra fiber and omega-3 fatty acids.
