Ingredients

Servings  2   Serving Size   1½ cups

  • 2 cups tightly packed fresh spinach

Directions

Tip: Click on step to mark as complete.

  1. In a food processor or blender, process all the ingredients until smooth, about 1 to 2 minutes, stopping to scrape down the mixture if necessary. 
  2. Pour into glasses.

Cooking Tip: You can substitute ½ cup frozen spinach for the fresh spinach. Just add a few more splashes of milk if necessary.

Tip: Using frozen fruit eliminates the need for ice in a smoothie. You can easily use fresh fruit, however, by using the same quantities of fruit and adding 1½ cups of ice cubes.
