- Using a knife, cut the tails of frozen bananas. It is better to use bananas that have been peeled before freezing. Cut the peel of bananas on all sides. Cut the bananas into small pieces, about 2 centimeters in length. Sliced bananas to spinach in a blender cup.
- Add a few mint leaves, with about 2-3 stems, but without them.
- Pour 200 milliliters of milk into a blender cup. Using a blender, carefully grind all the ingredients in the cup until smooth.
- Add about 2 tablespoons of honey or maple syrup to the grated mass. You can use another similar product that you like to sweeten the smoothies, or not at all.
