• 4 pieces Ice cubes

Directions

Step 1

Gather all ingredients and ensure the banana is peeled and frozen.

Step 2

In a high-speed blender, combine 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk and 1 cup of fresh spinach. Blend until smooth to ensure the spinach is well incorporated.

Step 4

Sprinkle in 0.5 teaspoon of cinnamon for added flavor and heart-healthy benefits.

Add 4 ice cubes to the blender to give the shake a refreshing, thick texture.

Step 6

Blend all the ingredients on high for about 1-2 minutes or until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Step 7

Check the shake's consistency. If it's too thick, add a little more almond milk and blend again.

Pour the shake into a glass and serve immediately. If desired, garnish with a sprinkle of chia or flaxseeds on top for an extra nutritional boost.
