Spinach, date and almond green smoothie FAQ:
For the best taste and texture, consume the smoothie immediately. However, if stored in an airtight container, it can last in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Keep in mind that it may separate or thicken over time, so shake or stir before drinking.
Yes, you can use fresh spinach in place of frozen spinach. However, you may need to add more fresh spinach to achieve a similar nutrient profile and texture since frozen spinach is typically more concentrated.
If you need a substitution for almond butter, you can use any other nut butter, such as peanut butter or cashew butter. If you have a nut allergy, try sunflower seed butter or a seed-based spread.
To make the smoothie thicker, you can add more frozen spinach, a handful of ice cubes, or additional banana. Chia seeds can also help thicken the smoothie when they absorb liquid.
If your smoothie turns out too thick, simply add more water, a splash of milk, or a juice of your choice, then blend again until you reach your desired consistency.
Tips:
- For a creamier texture, you can use a frozen banana instead of a fresh one.
- Feel free to adjust the sweetness by adding an extra date or a teaspoon of honey if desired.
- If you prefer a thicker smoothie, reduce the amount of water or add a few ice cubes before blending.
- For an added protein boost, you can add a scoop of your favorite protein powder.
- Make sure to blend the smoothie until it's completely smooth to ensure the chia seeds are fully integrated and the spinach is well-chopped.
