Equipment

Ingredients

  • ½ cup milk (any kind)
  • 2 handfuls baby spinach
  • 1 Medjool date (pitted)
  • 1 apple (cored and sliced)
  • 1 frozen banana (sliced)

Instructions

  • Put milk, baby spinach, date, apple, and frozen sliced banana into a blender. Secure lid.
    Place ingredients into the blender in the order listed.
  • Blend until smooth.
    Start the blender on LOW speed for 10 seconds. Increase speed to HIGH for 30 seconds.
  • Pour smoothie into a cup. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • 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.
