Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large bananas, frozen and sliced
  • 1 cup fresh spinach leaves (packed, about 30g)
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk (120ml, full-fat or almond milk for lighter texture)
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (60g, or dairy-free yogurt)
  • 1 tablespoon honey or pure maple syrup (15ml)
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves (about 8–10 leaves, or to taste)
  • 1/4 cup granola (use gluten-free if needed)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut
  • Fresh berries (blueberries, raspberries, or sliced strawberries, optional)
  • Extra mint leaves (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Slice 2 large bananas and freeze them overnight or for at least 4 hours.
  2. Add frozen banana slices, spinach, mint leaves, coconut milk, Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract to a high-speed blender.
  3. Blend on low, then gradually increase to high speed for 1-2 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed, until completely smooth and vibrant green.
  4. Taste and adjust: add more mint, sweetener, or spinach as desired.
  5. Pour the smoothie into a wide, shallow bowl and smooth the top with the back of a spoon.
  6. Sprinkle granola, chia seeds, shredded coconut, and fresh berries over the surface. Garnish with extra mint leaves.
  7. Serve immediately for best texture. If prepping ahead, refrigerate the base and add toppings just before serving.

Notes

For a vegan version, use plant-based yogurt and maple syrup or agave. If your blender struggles with frozen bananas, let them thaw for 2-3 minutes before blending. Adjust mint and sweetness to taste. Add a scoop of protein powder for extra protein. For a thicker bowl, use less liquid; for a thinner, drinkable smoothie, add more coconut milk. The recipe is flexible—swap spinach for kale or zucchini, or add cocoa powder for a chocolate mint twist.
