Ingredients
1 cup fresh spinach (washed)

1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
½ cup yogurt (optional for creaminess)
1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional for sweetness)
Ice cubes (optional for a chilled texture)
Optional add-ins: chia seeds, flaxseeds, protein powder
Instructions
Prepare Ingredients: Rinse the spinach thoroughly and peel the banana.
Blend: Add spinach, banana, milk, yogurt (if using), and any add-ins to a blender. Blend until smooth.
Adjust Consistency: Check the texture. Add more liquid if needed or ice cubes for a thicker, chilled smoothie.

Notes
For a dairy-free option, substitute milk with almond, oat, or coconut milk and skip the yogurt or use a plant-based alternative.
Freeze ripe bananas ahead of time to create a thicker, creamier smoothie without needing ice.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, but fresh is always best.
