This delightful blend of greens, creamy peanut butter, and sweet banana creates a powerhouse of vitamins, minerals, and protein to kickstart your day. Whether you're looking for a quick breakfast or a post-workout replenishment, this smoothie packs a punch in both flavor and health benefits.

Ingredients:

2 cups spinach
60g
1 cup milk (3.25% fat)
240g
1 tbsp peanut butter
16g
3 cups kale
200g
1 banana
120g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Greens:
- Thoroughly wash the spinach and kale under cold running water to remove any dirt or debris.
- Remove the tough stems from the kale and roughly chop the leaves for easier blending.
2. Add Ingredients to Blender:
- Start by adding 1 cup of milk into the blender. This will ensure a smoother blend and prevent leafy greens from sticking to the bottom.
- Add the spinach and kale to the blender.
3. Incorporate the Banana:
- Peel the banana and break it into smaller chunks. Add the chunks to the blender. The banana will add natural sweetness and creaminess to your smoothie.
4. Add Peanut Butter:
- Measure out 1 tablespoon of peanut butter and add it to the blender. This will give your smoothie a rich, nutty flavor and a boost of protein.
5. Blend Until Smooth:
- Secure the blender lid and blend on high until all the ingredients are fully combined and the mixture is smooth. This usually takes about 1-2 minutes, depending on the power of your blender.
- If the smoothie is too thick, you can add a little more milk to reach your desired consistency.
6. Check Consistency:
- Stop the blender and check the consistency. If there are any remaining chunks of kale or spinach, blend for an additional 30 seconds.
7. Serve:
- Pour the smoothie into a tall glass or divide it into smaller servings.
- Optionally, you can garnish with a sprinkle of chia seeds, a dollop of yogurt, or a drizzle of honey for extra flavor and nutrition.
8. Enjoy Immediately:
- Smoothies are best enjoyed fresh. The vibrant green color and nutrient-packed goodness are at their peak right after blending.

Tips:

- For a creamier texture, use frozen banana slices.

- Add a scoop of protein powder for an extra protein boost.

- For a dairy-free version, substitute milk with almond milk or any plant-based milk.

- To enhance the flavor, add a teaspoon of honey or a few drops of vanilla extract.

- Blend the greens first with the milk to ensure a smoother consistency before adding the other ingredients.

Enjoy your Peanut Butter, Spinach, and Kale Smoothie as a revitalizing and nutrient-packed start to your day. This easy-to-make recipe not only satisfies your taste buds but also fuels your body with essential nutrients.
