Notes
- Unsweetened almond milk is an excellent neutral milk to add to smoothies. You can also use other milks, like oat milk, hemp milk, or coconut milk from a carton.
- For the best texture and flavor, use a ripe banana. Look for one that is yellow with some brown spots.
- You can leave the peel on the kiwi. However, most people like to remove it because of its fuzzy texture. It might also make your smoothie gritty if you don't have a powerful blender.
- Avoid using spinach that is wilted or slimy.
- If the smoothie is too thick, add some almond milk and blend for 10 seconds.
- Smoothies are tastiest when enjoyed fresh. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight jar in the refrigerator, but be sure to drink it within 2 days.
