Helpful Tips

  • If you’re new to blending smoothies, start with smaller quantities of spinach and mint, gradually increasing as you get accustomed to the fresh, green flavors.
  • For a thicker consistency, add more frozen banana or additional ice cubes.
  • If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, adjust the amount of honey or maple syrup to taste.
  • This recipe can also be made dairy-free by using a plant-based protein powder.

Storage Instructions & Ingredient Substitutions

  • Although best enjoyed fresh, you can store any leftover smoothie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Shake well before drinking.
