I love using spices in smoothies (see: Mango Chai Smoothie). Just a pinch adds so much depth to a smoothie… and yes, smoothies can absolutely have depth. This green smoothie is made with spinach, avocado, cardamom, banana, and your choice of milk. The avocado makes this drink so rich and creamy. I usually make smoothies in my nutribullet (it’s fancier than a magic bullet but less expensive than a vitamix). I like it because it’s easy to clean up, but one day… I’ll probably upgrade to a vitamix (hint to hubby: my birthday coming up!). If there’s a secret to making a good smoothie, I’d say it’s using a frozen super ripe banana. I don’t really care for eating actual bananas (although, I make exceptions for green/unripe bananas). But… give me a frozen ripe banana, and we’ll be fast friends (who drink smoothies together). Enjoy! Like this recipe?
