Ingredients

• Frozen Bananas: are an essential part of this smoothie because they are rich in potassium and help to create a sweet, creamy base.  It is essential to make sure that the bananas are frozen in order to achieve a good texture. You can buy frozen bananas or make your own by peeling bananas, chopping them into pieces and freezing them in a freezer bag for at least 12 hours. Bananas can be frozen for up to six months.
• Avocados: are a nutrient dense super-food that lower cholesterol and they also contribute to the lovely creamy texture of this smoothie.
• Spinach: You can use frozen spinach or fresh spinach for this recipe.
• Celery: I use fresh celery in this recipe.
• Apples: are a great natural sweetener. I use green apples in this recipe but feel free to use any apple of your choice.
• Almond milk: is a nutritious plant-based milk. It helps to loosen the consistency of the green smoothie. How much milk you add to this smoothie is up to you. If you prefer a thicker smoothie then go for less milk and if you want a thinner smoothie then add more.
• You have the option to add a sweetener if the smoothie is not sweet enough for you. Dates are a great natural sweetener, or you can go for honey or maple syrup.

Tips and Substitutions

• Avocados: You can use frozen avocados instead of fresh avocados.
• Spinach: Frozen spinach can be used instead of fresh spinach.
• Milk: Some great alternatives to almond milk are coconut milk, sweetened soya milk and oat milk. You can also use water instead of milk.
• Ice: If you want to add some chill to this smoothie, add ½-1 cup of ice.
• Add-ins: To kick this smoothie up a notch, add 1-3 tablespoon of fresh chopped ginger. If you don’t have fresh ginger, you can use ground ginger instead. You can also add a scoop of protein powder or chai seeds.
• Water, coconut water, or plant-based milk can be used to loosen the consistency of the green smoothie.
