Ingredients:
Instructions:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Stop the blender and check the consistency. If there are any remaining chunks of kale or spinach, blend for an additional 30 seconds.
- 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.
- 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.
