- 1 1/4 cup fresh spinach
- 1 1/4 cup fresh kale
Dairy & Milk Alternatives

Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Make sure all fruits (banana, strawberries, pineapple) are frozen and the spinach and kale are washed and dried to maintain freshness and consistency.
- Add to Blender: Place the frozen bananas, strawberries, pineapple, Greek yogurt, spinach, kale, and almond milk into a blender.
- Blend Smooth: Blend on high speed for 2-3 minutes until all ingredients are well combined and the smoothie texture is creamy and smooth. Scrape down the sides of the blender as needed to ensure even blending.
- Adjust Consistency: If the smoothie is too thick, add more almond milk gradually and blend again until desired consistency is reached.

Notes
- Use frozen fruits to achieve a thick and creamy smoothie texture without the need for ice.
- Fresh spinach and kale provide essential vitamins and minerals while keeping the smoothie vibrant and fresh.
- Greek yogurt adds protein and creaminess, but you can substitute with a dairy-free yogurt for a vegan option.
- Adjust the thickness by adding almond milk gradually to suit your preference.
- Best consumed immediately to preserve flavor and nutritional value.
