- Finally, add the 1 cup of spinach. It adds a nutritious boost without overpowering the other flavors.

8. Serve:
- Pour the smoothie into glasses and serve immediately for the freshest taste.
9. Optional:
- If you prefer a colder smoothie, you can add a handful of ice cubes before blending or use a frozen banana.

Tips:

- For a thicker smoothie, use frozen banana slices.

- Add a spoonful of honey if you prefer a sweeter taste.

- Use almond milk or any other plant-based milk if you're lactose intolerant or prefer a dairy-free option.
