Notes
Ingredient Substitutions
Almond milk. use your favorite milk - whole milk, 2%, coconut milk, etc.
Fresh spinach. Frozen spinach works well too, however make sure you use 2 cups of loosely packed frozen leaves.
Frozen Banana. Adding frozen banana to smoothies is the best way to sweeten and impart a smooth texture. Using frozen banana instead of ice ensures the flavor isn't watered down.
Frozen fruit. you can choose any variety of fruit you would like. I prefer a tropical flair for our spinach smoothie. You can substitute apples, oranges, pears, cherries, strawberries, raspberries, etc. Use a total of 1 cup of fruit. If using fresh fruit (not frozen) freeze your fresh spinach so it is frozen.
