Ingredients
1½ cups plant milk (almond, oat, or cashew)
2 cups baby spinach
1 frozen banana
¼ ripe avocado
½ green apple (optional, for extra fiber and brightness)
Optional add-ins:
1 tsp chia or flax seeds (for omega-3s and skin-calming fats)
1 tsp lemon juice (for vitamin C and brightness)
1 scoop collagen or plant protein (for skin elasticity and repair)
Directions
1️⃣ Start with the Base
- Pour the milk into your blender first — it helps everything blend more smoothly.
2️⃣ Add the Rest
- Add spinach, banana, avocado, and apple (plus any extras you’d like–see customizations below).
3️⃣ Blend Until Smooth
- Blend on high for about 30 seconds, or until creamy and uniform in color.
Helpful Tip: I use this single-serve Ninja Blender so that it blends right in the container and I take it with me in the car on busy mornings without any extra cleanup.
4️⃣ Adjust Texture
- Add a splash more milk for a thinner drink or a few ice cubes for a thicker, frosty smoothie.
Customize Your Green Smoothie
- 🥬 Switch it up: Use kale, romaine, or chard instead of spinach.
- 🍍 Tropical twist: Try mango or pineapple in place of banana.
- 💪 Protein boost: Add hemp seeds or a scoop of protein powder.
- 🥥 Creamier texture: Blend in coconut yogurt or a few soaked cashews.
- 🍋 Extra brightness: Add lemon juice or zest before blending.
Why Your Skin Will Love It

Supporting your skin doesn’t have to be complicated — just consistent.
A simple, nutrient-dense smoothie like this can make a real difference in how your skin looks and feels over time.
