We keep a running stock of frozen bananas to give our smoothies a thicker consistency, but a handful of ice achieves a similar effect.
Ingredients
- 1 medium banana (fresh or frozen)
- ½ cup sliced strawberries, blueberries or chopped mangos
- ¼ cup plain 2% Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon almond butter
- ½ cup baby spinach
- ½ cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1-2 basil leaves, 2-3 mint leaves or 1/2 teaspoon peeled, chopped ginger (optional)
Directions
-
Place banana, strawberries (or blueberries or mango), yogurt, almond butter, spinach, almond milk and basil (if using) in a blender; process until smooth.
Tips
If the smoothie is too thick, thin it out with an additional splash of almond milk. If smoothie is too thin, you can thicken it with a handful of ice.
For a dairy-free smoothie, use coconut milk yogurt in place of Greek yogurt. For a nut-free smoothie, substitute ground flax seeds, sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds for almond butter.
