Q&A Section

Q1: What makes this smoothie healthy?
This green smoothie is packed with nutrients. Spinach provides iron, vitamin K, and antioxidants. Banana adds potassium and natural sweetness, while avocado contributes healthy fats and fiber. Together, they create a nutrient-dense drink that supports energy, digestion, and heart health.

Q2: Can I substitute the spinach with another green?
Yes! You can use kale, lettuce, or even Swiss chard. Spinach is milder in taste, making it perfect for beginners. Kale is slightly bitter but offers even higher vitamin C.

Q3: What liquid works best?
Unsweetened almond milk keeps the smoothie light and creamy. However, coconut water, oat milk, or even plain water can be used depending on your preference.

Q4: How can I make it more filling?
For extra protein, add a scoop of protein powder, Greek yogurt, or chia seeds. To make it more energizing, blend in oats or flaxseeds.
