Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

spinach (1 cup, rinsed)
banana (1, ripe, peeled and sliced)
apple (1, cored and chopped)
chia seeds (2 tablespoons)
almond milk (1 cup; any plant-based milk works)
peanut butter (2 tablespoons; almond or sunflower seed butter also work)
optional sweetener: honey or maple syrup, to taste
optional garnish: extra chia seeds or an apple slice

Directions

I prep the produce: rinse the spinach, slice the banana, and core/chop the apple.
I add spinach, banana, apple, and chia seeds to my blender and blend on high for about 30 seconds until smooth and vividly green.
I pour in almond milk and add peanut butter, then blend another 30 seconds until thick, creamy, and frothy.
I taste and adjust sweetness with a little honey or maple syrup, then pulse to combine.
I pour into chilled glasses and finish with a sprinkle of chia or an apple slice.

Approx. calories: about 250 per serving (will vary with milk and sweetener choices)

Variations

I go bolder with greens by swapping in kale for the spinach.
I make it nut-free with oat or coconut milk and sunflower seed butter.
I add tropical notes with pineapple instead of apple and a splash of coconut water.
I boost protein with a scoop of vanilla or unflavored protein powder.
I add a zing with fresh ginger or mint; for heat, I pinch in cayenne.
I thicken it without extra sweetness by adding ¼ avocado or a few ice cubes.

storage/reheating

I enjoy this smoothie freshest right away.
I refrigerate leftovers in a sealed jar for up to 24 hours and shake before drinking.
I freeze portions in ice-cube trays up to 3 months; I re-blend with a splash of milk when ready.
I don’t reheat—if I want it warmer, I blend without ice and let it come to cool room temp, knowing the texture will change.

FAQs

Can I use frozen fruit instead of fresh?

I often do. I swap in frozen banana or apple (or pineapple) and reduce or skip ice so the smoothie stays thick and cold.

How do I keep the color bright green?

I blend the greens first with some milk to fully break them down, then add the remaining ingredients so the color stays vivid.

What if the smoothie is too thick?

I splash in more almond milk a little at a time until I reach my perfect sip-able consistency.

Can I make this ahead for busy mornings?

I portion spinach, banana, apple, and chia into freezer bags. In the morning I add milk and peanut butter, then blend.

How can I make it sweeter without honey or syrup?

I use an extra-ripe banana or a couple of soft dates; both add natural sweetness and a creamy body.

Conclusion

I keep this green smoothie in my back pocket for mornings when I want something fast, nourishing, and delicious. With simple ingredients and endless room to play, I blend, sip, and feel ready to take on the day—superhero style.
