Green Smoothie Recipe with Kale, Spinach, Mint, and Banana
This refreshing green smoothie recipe is made with kale, spinach, mint, banana, dates, vanilla, and non-dairy milk. It is naturally sweet, easy to blend, and a simple way to add more greens to breakfast or snack time.
Ingredients
- 1 cup kale stems removed
- 1 cup spinach
- ¼ cup fresh mint leaves
- 2 bananas
- 4 to 5 dates pitted
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups unsweetened almond milk oat milk, or your favorite non-dairy milk
- ½ cup ice optional
Instructions
- Add the non-dairy milk to the blender first to help everything blend smoothly.
- Add the kale, spinach, mint, bananas, dates, vanilla extract, and ice if using.
- Blend for 30 to 60 seconds, or until the smoothie is creamy and no leafy pieces remain.
- Taste and adjust as needed. Add more milk for a thinner smoothie or more ice for a colder, thicker texture.
- Pour into two glasses and serve right away.
Notes
- For a less sweet smoothie, use 1 banana and 2 to 3 dates.
- For a thicker smoothie, use frozen banana instead of fresh banana.
- For more staying power, add Greek yogurt, protein powder, chia seeds, or ground flaxseed.
- This smoothie is best fresh, but it can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours and shaken before drinking.
