Are you a morning person? I am so not… but I like to have one of these when I wake up. Smoothies are my thing. And I believe a banana plus some honey is everyone’s great foundation for a smoothie. Spinach is not a fruit, but it works super great in smoothies!
Yes, this drink is green and yes, it is healthy and yes, it’s very much delicious! Spinach will add a healthy kick to it, bananas and honey will add great flavor. Oh, yes, and this spinach is 100 % pure organic, from my mom’s new garden! I love it. I added black sesame seeds, but you can go with whatever you like or have in your pantry.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the spinach make this smoothie taste strongly of vegetables?
No — the 2 bananas and 3 tbsp honey provide the dominant flavor, and the spinach adds a healthy kick without overpowering the drink. I find it very much delicious despite the green color.
Can I use a different seed topping or skip it?
Yes — I used black sesame seeds, but go with whatever you like or have in your pantry. The seeds are a garnish, so skipping them or swapping in chia, flax, or sunflower seeds works equally well.
CANT TASTE THE SPINACH AT ALL!
I just tired this smoothie, its very delicious
although I put additional ingredients (like pomegranate) it does not make a huge difference in the taste due to the fact that the banana overpowers the entire flavor but it was more for nutrients. But I would recommend this smoothie.
