# What You'll Need:
→ Smoothie Base
01 -
Splash of vanilla extract, about ½ teaspoon
02 -
30 grams fresh spinach (grab a handful)
03 -
120 ml of your fave milk—light coconut or another works too
04 -
120 ml of Greek-style yogurt with vanilla or coconut flavor; for dairy-free, choose coconut yogurt
05 -
2 tablespoons lime juice, squeeze it fresh
06 -
Finely grate the zest off one small lime or key lime
07 -
Take one big ripe banana, freeze it, then slice it up
08 -
Want it sweeter? Add 1 to 2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup, totally optional
→ Garnish
09 -
A bit of coconut, toasted and shredded
10 -
Some whipped cream
11 -
A handful of graham cracker crumbs
12 -
Lime wedge for rubbing on the glass edge
# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
Grab your smoothie and pour it into the rimmed glass. Top it off with whipped cream and a little toasted coconut if you want. Drink it right away for the best taste.
02 -
Give your smoothie a taste. If you think it needs more sweetness, toss in a splash of honey or maple syrup and blend it for a sec.
03 -
Chuck in the frozen banana slices, lime zest, lime juice, yogurt, coconut milk, your spinach, and the vanilla into a blender. Blend til it’s all smooth as can be. If it seems too thick, pour in a bit more milk.
04 -
Pour graham crumbs onto a plate. Wet the glass edge with a slice of lime, then swirl it in the crumbs so they stick all around.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
To keep it plant-based or dairy-free, just go for coconut or non-dairy yogurt. Want a protein lift? Add some vanilla protein powder. The spinach is mostly for a nice color and some nutrients—add lots more, up to 2 cups, if you like.
