Chef's notes
Feel free to adjust the ingredients to suit your preferences or use what you have on hand.
For the best texture, freeze the leafy greens ahead of time or use pre-frozen greens.
Ripe bananas will add more sweetness to your smoothie than unripe ones.
Add a protein boost by blending in a scoop of protein powder or Greek yogurt.
If the smoothie is less sweet than desired, blend in a little honey, maple syrup, or more frozen fruit.
