💡 Chef tips
- For a thicker, colder smoothie, freeze your banana slices ahead of time instead of using fresh ones.
- If you want to prep ahead, portion the spinach, pineapple, and banana into freezer-safe bags and keep them in the freezer; just add the liquid and yogurt when ready to blend.
- If the smoothie is too thick, add an extra splash of almond milk until you reach your desired consistency.
✅ How it should turn out
The finished smoothie should have a vibrant, bright green color with a velvety, thick texture and a refreshing, sweet-tart tropical flavor.
