The spiciness is balanced with sweetness, and it has a fluffy but creamy texture that’s easy to drink and a bright, vibrant green color. There’s not much you can do with this smoothie, but here are some tips:

• Just mix all the ingredients together! It works in a standard or large Vitamix-style blender. Or you can make half a recipe in an immersion or small blender for 1 serving.
• Can you make a green smoothie ahead of time? Yes. You can prepare it ahead and store it in the fridge until ready to serve. You just need to stir before eating. This is useful for busy mornings when you want to mix it up the night before.
• Use any type of bland leafy greens you like. The recipe calls for spinach, but if you have other bland-tasting leafy greens (even kale), feel free to use them here. Regular kale can even work, you just need to balance the flavor to make sure it’s not too bitter.
