- 1/2 ripe avocado (for creaminess and healthy fats)

How to Make Your Green Smoothie
Prep the Greens
Start by rinsing your fresh spinach well and patting it dry. This is the leafy green backbone of your green smoothie—fresh, nutrient-dense, and loaded with vitamins A and C.
Slice and Freeze the Banana
Frozen banana gives your smoothie that silky, milkshake-like texture. If not already frozen, slice your banana and place it in the freezer for about 30 minutes before blending.
Add Ingredients to Blender
Pour the almond milk into your blender first. Then add the frozen banana, spinach, avocado, and ice cubes. This blend gives your healthy green smoothie its creamy, thick consistency.
Add Flavor Boosters
Now, drizzle in 2 tablespoons of Syruvia Dragon Fruit Acai Syrup. This is the star flavoring agent, giving your green smoothie drink a fruity punch that’s naturally sweet without added sugar. Toss in the chia seeds and protein powder if using.
Blend Until Smooth
Blend everything on high until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides if needed. You’re looking for a rich green hue with a perfectly smooth pour.
Serve and Enjoy
Pour into a tall glass, top with a sprinkle of chia or a mint leaf if desired, and sip away. This green smoothie drink is refreshing, nourishing, and absolutely satisfying.
With the brightness of fruit and the power of greens, this healthy green smoothie is proof that healthy doesn’t have to be boring. It’s a crave-worthy habit in a glass.
Let your day start fresh—with every sip.
