Step by step instructions

To start, you need a frozen banana! Freeze your banana in advance.

Then, put all of the ingredients into a blender and mix!

We personally like thick smoothies so we only use one cup of almond milk, but if you want to thin out your smoothie, then you can add more almond milk to the blender.

Recipe FAQs

No! But if you want to make it Vegan, use maple syrup instead of honey.

We like adding 3 cups, but we would start with 2 cups and taste your smoothie to see if you like the taste or would want more. The more spinach you add, the greener the smoothie will be.

We usually split this smoothie with our husband, so we were tempted to say this smoothie serves two, but if you want it as a meal, then we would say it can serve one.

Use mango instead! We would say to use 1/2 cup – 1 cup of frozen mango. Mangos are sweet and add sweetness to smoothies in a similar way that bananas do.
