Baby spinach is so mild that you barely taste it, but it turns the milk a pale green. Mint brings the flavour and a cool finish.

6¾ oz
milk cold
1 tsp

Creamy and mild, with a soft green note and cool mint.
This is one of the simplest green smoothies: leaves, herbs and milk. Baby spinach is much milder than mature spinach and blends easily; it provides folate and vitamin K. Milk adds creaminess, protein and calcium, and fresh mint gives the drink its aroma.
Because there is no fruit, the smoothie is hardly sweet. A teaspoon of honey or half a banana rounds it off if you prefer. A light option for breakfast or between meals.
Barely: baby spinach is very mild and the mint dominates.
Yes, 2 to 3 frozen cubes work fine.
Not with cow's milk; oat or almond milk work well instead.
