Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients. Start by collecting all your ingredients. Make sure your frozen fruits are ready to go, and if you’re using fresh greens, wash and chop them as needed.
Step 2: Add the Greens. Place the frozen spinach or kale into your high-speed blender first. This helps to ensure that the greens get blended evenly.
Step 3: Add the Fruit. Next, add the frozen banana and your choice of frozen orange segments, pineapple, or mango. Feel free to mix and match based on what’s in your freezer.
Step 4: Include Almond Butter and Chia Seeds. Spoon in the almond butter and sprinkle in the chia seeds if you’re using them. This will provide additional nutrition and flavor.
Step 5: Pour in the Almond Milk. Add the almond milk to the blender. Start with one cup, adding more as needed to achieve your desired consistency.
Step 6: Ice, Ice Baby! Toss in a handful of ice to make your Green Smoothie chilly and refreshing.
Step 7: Blend It Up! Blend all the ingredients on high until smooth. If the mixture is too thick, add more almond milk, a little at a time, and blend until you reach your preferred consistency.
Step 8: Taste and Adjust. Give your smoothie a taste. If you want it sweeter, feel free to add a touch of honey or maple syrup, but the frozen fruits usually provide plenty of sweetness.
Step 9: Serve and Enjoy. Pour your Green Smoothie into a glass or a to-go cup, and enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture!
