A crisp red apple, a handful of spinach and one small banana: few ingredients, all easy to find. The baby banana adds just enough creaminess without taking over.

Apple Spinach Smoothie with Baby Banana
Juicy and fresh, with sweet apple, a soft banana note and a mild green background.
Baby bananas, sometimes sold as finger bananas, are smaller than regular bananas and tend to be sweeter with a slightly more intense aroma. Here one is enough to round off a juicy red apple and give the smoothie some body. Baby spinach adds folate, vitamin K and a fresh green colour but very little flavour.
This is a light, everyday green smoothie that suits breakfast or a mid-morning break. It is also a good base to build on once you are used to greens in a glass.
Only slightly. Apple and banana carry the flavour.
Yes, all ingredients are plant based.
A small, sweet banana variety, also called finger banana. Half a regular banana is a fine substitute.
