Good Morning Green Smoothie
Spinach, avocado, banana, and hemp seeds blended into a creamy, energizing glass of green — no grassy taste, just smooth.
Kim's note
The avocado is the secret — it makes the texture so thick and creamy that people never guess there's spinach in it. Freeze your banana the night before for an even colder, thicker result.
Ingredients
- 1 frozen banana, broken into chunks
- 1/2 ripe avocado
- 1 large handful baby spinach (about 1 cup packed)
- 1 cup unsweetened oat or almond milk
- 2 tablespoons hemp seeds
- 1 tablespoon almond butter
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 to 5 ice cubes
How to make it
- 1
Add the oat milk to the blender first — this helps the blades move freely.
- 2
Add the spinach and blend on high for 20 seconds until completely smooth with no green flecks remaining.
- 3
Add the frozen banana, avocado, hemp seeds, almond butter, vanilla, and maple syrup if using.
- 4
Blend on high for 45 to 60 seconds until thick and completely creamy.
- 5
Taste and adjust — add more maple syrup for sweetness or a splash more milk if it's too thick to pour.
- 6
Pour into a tall glass and drink immediately for the best texture and color.
