Ingredients

- 2 cups packed baby spinach
Liquids
- 1 cup unsweetened plain almond milk
Fruits
- 1 small very ripe banana

Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather 2 cups of packed baby spinach, 1 cup of unsweetened plain almond milk, 1 small very ripe banana, ½ cup frozen mango chunks, ½ cup frozen pineapple chunks, and 1 tablespoon chia seeds.
- Blend Ingredients: Place all ingredients into a blender. Process on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, which should take about 1 minute.
- Serve: Pour the smoothie into a large glass and serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Spinach is selected for its mild flavor, but you can substitute kale, beet greens, romaine, Swiss chard, or collard greens as alternatives.
- Use any frozen fruit you prefer, but maintain approximately 1 cup total to keep the smoothie’s consistency.
- If you don’t have a very ripe banana, use a less ripe one or ripen bananas quickly by placing them in a closed paper bag at room temperature, optionally with an apple or tomato.
- To make a smoothie bowl, reduce the liquid amount or add extra frozen fruit for a thicker consistency.
- Consume immediately for the freshest taste; if storing, refrigerate in an airtight container overnight and shake well before drinking.
