Serves: 1 serving
Ingredients
- 1 ripe banana
- 1 cup fresh spinach
- 1 kiwi, peeled and sliced
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients on a clean countertop. You will need 1 ripe banana, 1 cup of fresh spinach, 1 kiwi (peeled and sliced), 1 cup of almond milk, and 1 tablespoon of honey (if you prefer a sweeter smoothie).
- Peel the ripe banana and break it into smaller chunks. This will make it easier for your blender to process the banana smoothly.
- Rinse the fresh spinach under cold water to remove any dirt or impurities. Shake off the excess water or use a salad spinner to dry it gently.
- Peel the kiwi and slice it into rounds or wedges, depending on your preference. Make sure to remove any tough parts near the ends of the kiwi.
- In a blender, combine the banana chunks, fresh spinach, sliced kiwi, and almond milk. If you like your smoothie a bit sweeter, add the tablespoon of honey at this stage.
- Secure the lid on the blender and blend the mixture on high speed until it becomes smooth and creamy. This should take about 30 seconds to 1 minute, depending on the power of your blender.
- Once blended, stop the blender and check the consistency. If the smoothie is too thick for your liking, you can add a little more almond milk and blend again until you reach your desired consistency.
- Pour the smoothie into a glass. You can garnish it with a slice of kiwi or a few spinach leaves on top for a decorative touch, if desired.
- Enjoy your refreshing Banana Spinach Smoothie with Kiwi immediately for the best flavor and texture!
