Green Power Smoothie

Step-by-step

  1. Add liquid first to the blender, then spinach, then everything else.

  2. Blend on high 60 seconds until completely smooth and no leaf flecks remain.

  3. Pour and drink immediately. chia thickens the longer it sits.

Cook's tip

Liquid-first prevents the blender from struggling with leaves. Adding a frozen banana makes it creamy without dairy.

Storage

Best within 30 minutes.

Freezer: Pre-portion smoothie packs in freezer bags for quick blending later.

Frequently asked questions

Tastes too "green"?

Add an extra banana or 2 tbsp maple syrup. Spinach is mild but you can't completely hide it.

Can I sub kale?

Yes but blanch first or it tastes harsh. 1 cup kale = 2 cups spinach.

Loved it but added an extra scotch bonnet — we like it spicy. Recipe scales well, made a double batch.

Made this for Sunday lunch — the smoky bottom turned out perfect. Family demolished the pot in twenty minutes.

First time cooking this and the timing notes saved me. Did not lift the lid once. The crust at the bottom was the best part.
