You would never guess there is spinach in this glass. The berries turn it deep purple and the baby banana brings all the sweetness it needs.

Berry Spinach Smoothie with Banana
Thick and fruity, tart berries softened by banana sweetness; the spinach is barely noticeable.
Baby spinach is the easiest way into green smoothies: it is tender, mild and almost tasteless once blended with fruit. It contributes folate and vitamin K. The frozen berry mix does the heavy lifting on flavour and colour and chills the drink, while the baby banana (sweeter and more aromatic than a regular one) adds body. Everything together makes a thick, filling smoothie that suits breakfast or a snack after exercise.
Hardly. Baby spinach is very mild and the berries cover it completely.
Yes. It contains only fruit, spinach and water.
Yes, half a regular banana replaces one baby banana.
