Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 cups dandelion greens loosely packed, washed and stems trimmed
- 2 large bananas frozen and broken into chunks
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or any plant-based milk
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt plain, or coconut yogurt for vegan option
- 1 tbsp chia seeds for added fiber and omega-3s
- 1 tsp fresh ginger peeled and grated
- 1 tbsp lemon juice freshly squeezed to cut the bitterness
- 0.5 cup ice cubes optional, for a frostier texture
Notes
Storage: Best consumed immediately. If storing, keep in an airtight jar for up to 24 hours and shake well before drinking. Substitution: If dandelion greens are too bitter for your palate, try a 50/50 mix with baby spinach. Make-ahead: You can prep 'smoothie packs' by freezing the greens, ginger, and banana together in a silicone bag.
