Ingredients:
Instructions:

- 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.
- Blend the spinach and water first to ensure it's thoroughly mixed before adding the other ingredients.
- For an extra protein boost, consider adding a scoop of your favorite protein powder.
