10 -
Dust the top with some graham crumbs
# Guide to Cooking:
01 -
Toss the banana, your yogurt, lime juice, any honey or sweetener, zest, vanilla, and spinach if you're using it all into your blender. Hit blend and chuck in ice cubes until the texture's how you like it.
02 -
Swipe a lime wedge along the rim of a clean glass and roll it in some graham cracker crumbs so it sticks.
03 -
Just pour your fresh smoothie in and throw a lime wedge on top if you want. Drink up while it’s cold!
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
Want a creamier sip? Use a bit of cream cheese in place of some yogurt.
02 -
Spinach is perfect for color, and you can’t even taste it.
03 -
No limes? Lemon juice and peel work great too for that punch.
04 -
Go for a frozen snack by bumping up the honey, pouring the mix in popsicle molds, and letting them freeze.
05 -
Leftover? Freeze it in cubes and toss those in a blender with milk later. They’ll keep a few months.
