Ingredients
To whip up this delightful smoothie, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- 1 small zucchini, chopped (about 1 cup)
- 1 ripe banana
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
- 1 tablespoon almond butter or peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A handful of spinach (optional, for added nutrition)
- Ice cubes (as needed for chill)
Instructions
Now that we have everything we need, let’s get started on making this smoothie:
- Begin by chopping the zucchini into smaller pieces to make blending easier.
- Add the chopped zucchini, banana, almond milk, almond butter, honey (if using), and vanilla extract to your blender.
- If you’re adding spinach, toss that in too for an extra nutrient kick.
- Blend all the ingredients on high speed until smooth and creamy. If the smoothie is too thick, you can add a little more almond milk until you reach your desired consistency.
- For a colder and more refreshing drink, throw in a few ice cubes and blend again until smooth.
- Once it’s all blended, taste your smoothie. If you’d like it sweeter, add a little more honey or maple syrup and blend once more.
- Pour the smoothie into a glass and enjoy it immediately for the best flavor and texture!
This Zucchini Smoothie is a fantastic way to sneak in a serving of veggies without sacrificing taste. It’s creamy, satisfying, and perfect for those warm days when you’re looking for something light and refreshing. Enjoy your sip of health!
