Ingredients:

1/2 banana
60g
1 tbsp almond butter
16g
1/2 cup coconut milk
110g
1 date
24g
1/4 package frozen spinach
70g

Instructions:

1. Prepare Ingredients:
- Banana: Peel and cut the banana into smaller chunks for easier blending.
- Date: Remove the pit from the date if it hasn’t been already.
2. Blend:
- In a blender, combine the banana chunks, 1 tablespoon of almond butter, and 1/2 cup of coconut milk.
- Add the pitted date and the frozen spinach.
3. Blend Smooth:
- Start the blender on a low setting initially to break down the large pieces, then gradually increase the speed to high for about 1-2 minutes, or until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. If the smoothie is too thick, you may add a splash more coconut milk to reach your desired consistency.
4. Serve:
- Pour the smoothie into a glass and enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture.
5. Optional Variations:
- For added sweetness, include another date or a few drops of honey.
- If you prefer a colder smoothie, add a few ice cubes before blending.
- To boost the nutritional value, consider adding a tablespoon of chia seeds or a scoop of protein powder.

Tips:

- Use frozen banana: Freezing the banana slices beforehand will give the smoothie a thicker, creamier texture and help keep it cold without the need for ice.

- Soak the date: If your blender is not very powerful, you may want to soak the date in warm water for about 10 minutes to soften it. This will make it easier to blend and ensure there are no chunks.

- Adjust sweetness: You can customize the sweetness of the smoothie by adding more dates or a bit of honey or maple syrup if desired.

- Use fresh spinach: If you prefer, you can substitute the frozen spinach with fresh spinach. Just use about a cup of loosely packed fresh spinach leaves instead.

- Blend in stages: To ensure a smooth consistency, blend the coconut milk and spinach first until the spinach is fully broken down. Then add the remaining ingredients and blend until smooth.

This Almond Butter Banana Coconut Spinach Smoothie is both delicious and packed with nutrients, making it an excellent choice for a healthy and satisfying drink. With its blend of almond butter, banana, and coconut milk, it's rich and creamy, while the spinach adds an extra nutritional punch without overpowering the flavor.
