Menu Note:
- This is my first try at making a green smoothie. I started from the formula published by Jen + Jadah on the Simple Green Smoothies blog. We love this mixture because it is nutty, creamy, not super sweet, gives a small but definite energy boost, and it's a lovely shade of green.
The Ingredients (for 4 to 6 servings):
- 1 cup of pressed down baby spinach leaves, weighing 70 g (or 2½ oz)
I usually freeze some ripe mango and banana
when I buy them at the farmers' market - 240 ml (or 1 cup) of unsweetened almond milk (preferably vanilla-coconut flavor)
- ½ of a ripe avocado, weighing approximately 85 g (or 3 oz)
- 1 or 2 frozen bananas, weighing approximately 85 g (or 3 oz)
- 1 to 1½ cups of frozen mango, weighing approximately 230 g (or 8 oz)
The Method:
- Wash and drain the spinach leaves and put them into the bottom of a blender.
- Add the almond milk to the spinach and blend them at high speed until the spinach is completely liquefied.
