Lena’s Simple Green Smoothie

Lena’s Simple Green Smoothie is so delicious, you’ll forget it’s healthy. Want to know the best part? It takes 2 minutes to prepare and consists of only 4 ingredients and that’s including the water!

I know what you’re thinking…another green smoothie. There are so many combinations to make a green smoothie. The possibilities are endless. This one – introduced to me by my daughter – is incredibly simple to prepare and very refreshing. You might consider this the perfect green smoothie for beginners.

The ingredients are:

• Water
• Baby spinach
• Banana
• Pear

That’s it. No, I’m not kidding.
Just throw everything in your blender (affiliate link) and blend until smooth.
The outcome is a beautiful rich green smoothie that’s sweetened only by the natural sugar of the fruit, which makes you forget there’s spinach in the smoothie. I buy a big bunch of bananas and the moment they get spotty, I store them in the freezer. Using frozen bananas in smoothies makes them taste that much better.

I’ll be honest, the first time Lena made it for me, I was hesitant. I told her I’d pass. With her continued persistence, I gave it a go. I mean it’s only fair since I make her try my concoctions. She made a believer out of me.

This makes two servings. It stores beautifully in the fridge in case you want to save one for later. Give it a shake or a stir and you’re all set. It will make anyone a lover of green smoothies. The only way to believe me is to make it.
