Ingredients

- 2 peeled, sliced bananas, frozen
- 1 cup chopped strawberries, frozen
- 1 cup chopped pineapple, frozen
Greens
- 1 1/4 cup fresh spinach
- 1 1/4 cup fresh kale
Dairy & Milk Alternatives
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (about 4–5 oz)
- 1/2 cup almond milk
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Make sure all fruits (banana, strawberries, pineapple) are frozen and the spinach and kale are washed and dried to maintain freshness and consistency.
- Add to Blender: Place the frozen bananas, strawberries, pineapple, Greek yogurt, spinach, kale, and almond milk into a blender.
- Blend Smooth: Blend on high speed for 2-3 minutes until all ingredients are well combined and the smoothie texture is creamy and smooth. Scrape down the sides of the blender as needed to ensure even blending.
- Adjust Consistency: If the smoothie is too thick, add more almond milk gradually and blend again until desired consistency is reached.
- Serve: Pour into two glasses and enjoy immediately for best taste and nutrient retention.
Notes
- Use frozen fruits to achieve a chilled smoothie without adding ice, which can dilute flavor.
- Scraping the blender sides helps achieve a smooth and even texture.
- Adjust almond milk quantity to preference for thickness.
- Best consumed immediately to maximize nutrient intake and freshness.
- Substitute almond milk with any preferred milk alternative if desired.
