- ½ cup milk (any kind)
- 2 handfuls baby spinach
- 1 Medjool date (pitted)
- 1 apple (cored and sliced)
- 1 frozen banana (sliced)
- Any kind of milk can be used in this recipe, including dairy-free, like hemp milk, oat milk, almond milk, coconut milk, or soy milk.
- To make this recipe dairy-free, you can use hemp milk, oatmilk, almond milk, coconut milk, or soy milk.
- If the smoothie is too thick, add a small amount of milk and blend for 10 seconds.
- The Medjool date may be hard to blend if your blender isn't powerful enough. Cut it into small pieces to make sure you don't end up with big chunks of date in the smoothie.
- You can substitute the apple with another fruit. Some of my favorite alternatives to use in this recipe are pineapple and mango.
- Store leftover smoothies in the refrigerator in airtight glass containers. They'll only last 1-2 days max and will lose nutritional value and freshness quickly. Some separation may happen, so give the smoothie a stir before drinking.
