💡 Chef tips
- For a thicker, colder smoothie, use frozen banana slices instead of fresh ones.
- You can prep the fruit and spinach in freezer-safe bags ahead of time; just dump the contents into the blender with the liquid when ready to serve.
- If you want an extra protein boost, add a scoop of your favorite vanilla protein powder.
✅ How it should turn out
The finished smoothie should be a vibrant, bright green color with a velvety, thick consistency and a refreshing, sweet-tart tropical flavor.
