# What You Need:

# Directions:

01 - Add the frozen banana slices, fresh spinach, almond milk, maple syrup (if using), and spirulina powder to a high-speed blender.

05 - Enjoy right away while the smoothie base is cold and thick for the best texture and flavor.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The vibrant green color alone will make you feel like you have your life together before nine in the morning.
  • It doubles as a quick snack or a lazy dinner when cooking feels impossible and cereal feels wrong.
02 -
  • Using unfrozen bananas will give you a thin smoothie instead of the thick spoonable bowl you are after, so always freeze them ahead.
  • Spirulina clumps stubbornly if dumped straight in, so blend the wet ingredients first for thirty seconds before adding it.
03 -
  • Keep a dedicated bag of sliced frozen bananas in your freezer at all times and you will never have an excuse to skip this recipe.
  • Arranging toppings in rows rather than piling them randomly makes the bowl photograph beautifully and somehow tastes better too.
