A fresh, energizing green smoothie packed with spinach, avocado, and a zesty kick of ginger, perfect for quick breakfasts, post-workout refuels, or light snacks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups packed baby spinach
  • 1/2 ripe avocado, peeled and pitted
  • 1 medium frozen banana, sliced
  • 1/2 cucumber, peeled and chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup (240 ml) unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prep your produce (5 minutes): Peel and pit the avocado, slice the frozen banana, chop the cucumber, and grate the ginger. Freshly squeeze the lemon juice.
  2. Add 2 packed cups of baby spinach and 1 cup (240 ml) unsweetened almond milk to a blender. Blend on medium speed for about 15 seconds to start breaking down the greens.
  3. Add the sliced frozen banana, half an avocado, chopped cucumber, grated ginger, 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon chia seeds (if using). Add 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup if desired.
  4. Blend on low speed, gradually increasing to high, until smooth and creamy with no visible chunks (1-2 minutes). Add more almond milk if too thick.
  5. Taste and adjust flavor by adding more lemon juice for zing or sweetener for sweetness. Blend briefly again to mix.
  6. Serve immediately in a glass or travel cup. Optionally garnish with chia seeds or a lemon wedge.

Notes

Use frozen banana for creamy texture without ice. Blend greens and liquid first to avoid chunks. Grate ginger finely to prevent overpowering flavor. Chia seeds thicken smoothie if allowed to sit. Prep produce night before to save time. If smoothie separates, stir or shake before drinking. Keeps up to 24 hours refrigerated.
