Ingredients
For the Smoothie Base
- 1 cup fresh spinach Or use frozen spinach, thawed and drained.
- 1 cup frozen cherries Any frozen fruit can be used, such as mixed berries or mango.
- 1 medium banana Use a ripe banana for creaminess, or substitute with avocado.
- 1 cup almond milk Can be replaced with oat or soy milk.
Instructions
Combine Ingredients
- In a blender, combine the spinach, frozen cherries, banana, and almond milk. Ensure the spinach is evenly distributed for blending.
Blend Until Smooth
- Blend on high until you reach a smooth consistency. If it looks too thick, you can add a bit more almond milk.
Taste and Adjust
- Give it a taste test. If you prefer it sweeter, add a little honey or maple syrup.
Pour and Serve

Notes
Use a high-speed blender for the smoothest texture. Freeze banana slices ahead of time for an extra chilled drink. Adjust liquid based on preferred thickness; less liquid for a thicker smoothie.
