A quick and easy green detox smoothie blending fresh spinach and almond butter for a creamy, nutrient-packed start to your day. Perfect for detox days or a light breakfast, this smoothie balances flavor and nutrition without any fancy ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups fresh spinach (packed)
  • 2 tablespoons almond butter (natural, unsweetened)
  • 1 medium ripe banana (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • Pinch of ground cinnamon
  • 4–5 ice cubes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Rinse 2 cups of fresh spinach leaves thoroughly to remove any grit.
  2. Peel and slice 1 medium ripe banana into chunks. If using frozen banana, no need to thaw.
  3. Pour 1 cup (240 ml) of unsweetened almond milk and 2 tablespoons of almond butter into a high-speed blender.
  4. Add the fresh spinach and banana pieces on top of the liquids.
  5. Sprinkle in 1 tablespoon of chia seeds, 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice, and a pinch of ground cinnamon.
  6. Secure the lid and blend on high speed for 45-60 seconds, stopping to scrape down the sides if needed, until smooth with no visible leafy bits.
  7. If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash more almond milk and blend for another 10-15 seconds.
  8. For a colder drink, add 4-5 ice cubes and pulse until crushed and incorporated.
  9. Taste and adjust sweetness with honey or maple syrup if desired, or add extra lemon juice to brighten flavor.
  10. Serve immediately in a glass or reusable bottle. Refrigerate leftovers up to 24 hours and shake well before drinking.

Notes

Blend almond butter first with the liquid to prevent clumps. Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness. Avoid over-blending ice to prevent watering down the flavor. Store smoothie in airtight container up to 24 hours and shake before drinking.
