A quick and easy creamy green smoothie packed with fresh spinach, ripe banana, avocado, and coconut milk for a nutritious energy boost perfect for any time of day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups fresh spinach (tightly packed)
  • 1 medium ripe banana, peeled
  • ½ medium avocado, peeled and pitted
  • 1 cup (240 ml) unsweetened coconut milk
  • ½ cup (120 g) plain Greek yogurt, unsweetened
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 45 ice cubes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Peel the banana and avocado, then roughly chop into chunks. Wash the spinach thoroughly.
  2. Place 2 cups of fresh spinach into the blender, followed by 1 cup of unsweetened coconut milk and ½ cup plain Greek yogurt. Blend for 15-20 seconds.
  3. Add the chopped banana and avocado chunks to the blender. Blend for another 30 seconds until smooth.
  4. Pour in 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (if using), and 1 tablespoon chia seeds. Add ice cubes if desired. Pulse blend for 15-20 seconds.
  5. Blend everything together for a final 20 seconds. Adjust consistency by adding more coconut milk if too thick or more ice/avocado if too thin. Taste and adjust sweetness or lemon as needed.

Notes

Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and creaminess. Blend liquids and greens first to avoid clumps. Let chia seeds soften for 5 minutes after blending for better texture. Adjust ice quantity to avoid diluting flavor. Prep fruit the night before for quicker mornings. For vegan version, swap Greek yogurt with dairy-free coconut or almond yogurt.
