Description
A refreshing and nutritious Strawberry Banana Green Smoothie packed with leafy greens and fresh fruit, perfect for a quick breakfast or healthy snack.
Ingredients
Greens
- One handful of spinach (about 2/3 cup packed)
- One handful of kale (about 2/3 cup packed)
Liquids and Fruit
- 1 cup of water
- 1 banana (fresh or frozen)
- 5 frozen strawberries
Instructions
- Blend the Greens: In a blender, combine the spinach, kale, and 1 cup of water. Blend on low to medium speed for about 1 minute until the greens are completely liquefied. Be patient as it may take around 20 seconds for the greens to blend down fully.
- Add Fruit and Blend: Add the banana and frozen strawberries to the liquified greens. Blend until the mixture is smooth and thoroughly combined. If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more water and blend again to reach your desired consistency.
- Serve: Pour the smoothie into a glass and enjoy immediately for the best flavor and freshness.
Notes
- For a colder smoothie, use frozen banana slices in addition to frozen strawberries.
- Adjust the water quantity to achieve your preferred smoothie thickness.
- Feel free to add a tablespoon of chia seeds or flaxseeds for extra fiber and omega-3s.
- This smoothie is best consumed fresh to retain the nutrients and vibrant flavors.
