  2. Load Blender: Put all ingredients into the container of a Vitamix blender in the order listed, starting with almond milk, followed by spinach, banana, fruit, and add-ins.
  3. Start Blending: Begin blending on low speed to break down the solid ingredients and prevent splashing, then gradually increase to high speed for thorough blending.

  5. Serve: Pour the smoothie into glasses immediately and enjoy the fresh, nutrient-packed drink.

Notes

  • Using frozen spinach and fruit makes the smoothie chilled and thick without needing ice.
  • You can customize the fruit to your liking; berries, mango, or peaches work well.
  • Adding protein powder or collagen can boost the smoothie’s nutritional value.
  • For a thinner consistency, add more almond milk or a splash of water.
  • Consume immediately to enjoy freshness and retain maximum nutrients.
