Ingredients:
Instructions:

- Finally, add the 1 cup of spinach. It adds a nutritious boost without overpowering the other flavors.
- Blend on high speed until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined and the smoothie is smooth and creamy. If the consistency is too thick, you can add a bit more water to achieve your desired texture.
- Pour the smoothie into glasses and serve immediately for the freshest taste.
- 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.
