We make this smoothie often and it’s delicious. I use the exact ingredients and occasionally add in whatever is left in the refrigerator that needs to be used up.

I do love green smoothies! The one I usually make is similar to what you posted, except I often add frozen chunks of pineapple and mango, and use 100% orange/pineapple/banana juice instead of almond milk.
Eileen xo
That also sounds absolutely delicious!
Ana De- Jesus
I tried something similar recently: almond milk, baby leaf spinach, green apples and cinnamon which is meant to be good for digestive and bowel issues but it made me very sick so I just stick to my standard ' strawberry, raspberry, banana, honey and natural yogurt smoothie which tastes a lot nicer!
