Notes
Use frozen banana instead of ice cubes for a naturally sweetened, creamy texture.
Adjust the consistency by adding more almond milk for a thinner smoothie or additional ice for a thicker blend.
Substitute kale or arugula for spinach, if preferred.
For an extra boost of antioxidants, add a teaspoon of matcha powder.
