Prepare your ingredients. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Peel your frozen banana and break it into chunks. This makes blending easier and faster.

Add the liquids first. Pour the almond milk into your blender, followed by the Greek yogurt. Starting with liquids helps the blender blades move more freely and prevents ingredients from getting stuck.

Layer in the greens. Add your fresh spinach on top of the liquids. Don't worry if it looks like too much spinach – it'll blend down significantly!

Add the remaining ingredients. Toss in the avocado, frozen banana chunks, lime juice, and ice cubes. If you're using chia seeds or honey, add them now.

Blend on high speed. Start your blender on low, then gradually increase to high speed. Blend for 45-60 seconds until completely smooth and creamy. You shouldn't see any chunks of spinach or avocado.

Check the consistency. If your smoothie is too thick, add a splash more almond milk. If it's too thin, add a few more ice cubes and blend again.

Taste and adjust. Give it a quick taste test. Add more honey if you prefer it sweeter, or squeeze in extra lime juice for more brightness.

Serve immediately. Pour into a glass and enjoy right away for the best texture and flavor!
