02 - 1 ripe banana

03 - 1 cup fresh baby spinach, packed

04 - 1 cup unsweetened almond milk

05 - 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)

06 - 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, to taste)

03 - Taste and add honey or maple syrup if desired to adjust sweetness.

04 - Pour the smoothie evenly into two glasses and serve immediately.

01 -

It tastes indulgent and bright even when it's grey outside, which somehow makes winter mornings better.
The spinach disappears into the berries so completely that even skeptics drink it without complaint.
Ready in five minutes, which means you can actually make it on a rushed Tuesday instead of just thinking about it.

02 -

Frozen berries are not a shortcut, they're the point—they make this cold and creamy without watering it down with ice.
Don't blend too long or you risk making it warm, which somehow changes everything about how it tastes.

03 -

Keep your berries in the freezer year-round and you'll never talk yourself out of making this.
Blend it thick and serve it in a bowl with granola if you want it to feel more like breakfast than a drink.
