Ingredients

2 cups baby spinach fresh and tightly packed
1.5 cups unsweetened almond milk chilled
1 large frozen banana sliced before freezing
2 tbsp almond butter smooth and creamy
1 pinch saffron threads crushed
1 tsp honey or maple syrup for vegan option
0.25 tsp ground cardamom for aromatic depth
0.5 cup ice cubes optional for thicker consistency

Notes

For the best flavor, use high-quality Persian saffron. To make ahead, blend all ingredients except ice and store in an airtight mason jar for up to 24 hours; shake vigorously before serving. You can substitute almond butter with cashew butter for a milder taste.
