Ingredients
  

  • Fresh spinach: Baby spinach works best for a mild flavor.
  • Ripe kiwis: Look for kiwis that yield slightly to gentle pressure.
  • Banana: Fresh or frozen. Frozen gives a creamier, colder smoothie.
  • Liquid base: Unsweetened almond milk, oat milk, dairy milk, or coconut water.
  • Greek yogurt (optional): For extra creaminess and protein.
  • Honey or maple syrup (optional): Only if you like it a bit sweeter.
  • Lime or lemon juice (optional): A small squeeze brightens the flavors.
  • Ice (optional): If using fresh fruit and you want it extra cold.
  • Add-ins (optional): Chia seeds, flaxseed, hemp hearts, or a scoop of vanilla protein powder.

Method
 

  1. Prep the produce: Peel the kiwis by trimming the ends and sliding a spoon under the skin, or slice and scoop. Rinse the spinach and pat it dry.
  2. Layer your blender: Start with 1 cup of your chosen liquid, then add 1 packed cup of spinach, 2 peeled kiwis, and 1 medium banana. Add 1/4 cup Greek yogurt if using.
  3. Boost it (optional): Add 1 teaspoon chia or flaxseed, a squeeze of lime or lemon, and a few ice cubes if your fruit isn’t frozen.
  4. Blend until smooth: Start low, then increase to high. Blend 30–60 seconds, scraping down sides if needed, until silky and evenly green.
  5. Taste and adjust: If it’s too thick, add more liquid. If you want more sweetness, add a small drizzle of honey or maple syrup and blend for a few seconds.
  6. Serve immediately: Pour into a chilled glass for the best texture and color.
