Directions
Ad the yogurt, banana, and blueberries into your blender. Then, pile in as much spinach as you can fit. Pour in some water to help everything blend smoothly. Blend it all on high until the mixture is nice and smooth—if it’s too thick, you can toss in the rest of the spinach and blend again. If you want it colder and thicker, throw in some ice cubes and blend once more. On the other hand, if it feels too thick, just add a little more water until it reaches the consistency you like.

Leftover Storage Guide
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and consume within 24 hours for the best taste and freshness. Give it a quick stir before drinking, as separation may occur. Avoid freezing, as it can change the texture.
