Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup almond milk (unsweetened)
- 1 frozen ripe banana
- 1/2 cup baby spinach
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (plain)
- 1/4 cup shelled pistachios
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
- 1/4 teaspoon peppermint essence
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla essence
- 1/2 cup ice
- 1/4 cup fresh strawberries, sliced (for topping)
- 1/4 cup crunchy granola (for topping)
- 2 tablespoons coconut flakes (for topping)
- 1 tablespoon fresh mint, chopped (for topping)
Instructions
- Begin by placing the almond milk, frozen banana, spinach, Greek yogurt, pistachios, maple syrup (or honey), peppermint essence, vanilla essence, and ice into a blender. Blend on high until the mixture is velvety and well combined.
- Sample the smoothie and, if desired, enhance the sweetness by incorporating a bit more maple syrup or honey, then blend briefly to mix.
- Transfer the smoothie into a bowl, smoothing the top with the back of a spoon for an appealing presentation.
- Adorn the surface with the sliced strawberries, a sprinkle of granola, a scattering of coconut flakes, and a few mint leaves for a burst of color and flavor.
- Dig in right away with a spoon and savor the refreshing taste.
Notes
- For a vegan alternative, swap Greek yogurt for a plant-based yogurt.
- Boost the protein content by adding a scoop of protein powder, or replace the banana with avocado for a richer texture.
