Green Energy Smoothie

This smoothie blends spinach, banana, and almond milk for clean energy without the crash. A spoonful of peanut butter brings body and satiety, while a touch of honey balances the greens.

Use a ripe banana for natural sweetness and a silky texture. If you prefer a thicker smoothie, add a few ice cubes or frozen banana slices. Blend long enough to break down spinach entirely—no leafy bits.

Customize with protein powder or chia seeds when you need more heft. Drink immediately for best texture, or chill for 30 minutes if you like it extra cold.
