Instructions
Tip: if you're not sure whether you enjoy the taste of certain ingredients, such as raw greens and spirulina, add these in small amounts and taste as you go.
Combine all ingredients in a blender. Start on low and gradually increase to high speed. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Taste and adjust the flavor and consistency as desired. Add more banana for sweetness and for a thicker smoothie. Add a pinch of salt to reduce bitterness.
Smoothies are best enjoyed immediately, though leftovers will keep for up to 1 day. Store in an airtight jar or container, and keep refrigerated.
Notes
Storage: For the best flavor and nutrition, smoothies are best enjoyed immediately after blending. If you're taking it to-go or have leftovers, store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 24 hours. To freeze, pour into a freezer-safe, airtight container and freeze for up to three months. To thaw, place it in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight. Shake it up or blend briefly to make it creamy again.
