Do you feel like you need more greens in you life? This creamy delicious smoothie may be just what you need. For breakfast I always eat scrambled eggs with spinach or a smoothie with spinach. Getting my greens in the morning simply makes me feel better!
You must freeze the banana and spinach the night before you make your smoothie. If you are not familiar with matcha powder it is known as a energy booster and it is high in antioxidants.
To prep the bananas for the freezer, I cut up each banana and place each banana in its own ziplock bag.
My bananas packages are ready to freeze.
I always keep spinach in the freezer…mainly because I use it for almost every breakfast. When you buy fresh spinach it has a limited time span of freshness in the fridge. Freezing it insures you have spinach anytime you need it.
