Pour your finished smoothie into the glass you prepped. Add some whipped cream on top and dust it with toasted coconut if that’s your thing. Drink right away.
02 -
Give it a try and if you want it sweeter, quickly blend in some honey or maple syrup.
03 -
Toss your sliced banana, lime juice, zest, yogurt, coconut milk, spinach, and vanilla into a good blender. Blend till it’s all smooth. If it’s too thick, pour in some extra milk so it blends better.
04 -
Spread out graham crumbs on a little plate. Take a lime wedge and run it around the rim of your glass so it’s damp. Press and roll the edge in the crumbs so it gets covered.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
Use coconut or non-dairy yogurt if you want it to be vegan or dairy-free. Need more protein? Throw in a scoop of vanilla protein powder. The spinach mainly brings color and extra nutrients, so put in up to 2 cups if you want a bigger boost.
