Why this recipe works

  • Blend the spinach with the almond milk first, before adding the banana. This two-step blend is the difference between silky and leafy.
  • A frozen banana (not fresh) is what makes it thick and frosty instead of thin and watery.
  • Drink it within 20 minutes. The bright green color oxidizes over time — it still tastes fine, but the glow fades.
