Every morning, I drink a smoothie that is both delicious and nutritious.

For years now, I have been perfecting my 11 favorite easy smoothie recipes. I know them by heart, and I’m sure you’ll love them as much as I do.

Let me take you through my step-by-step process to make them, so you can enjoy them just as much as I do when I make my morning smoothie. The first step I take in preparing a smoothie is to choose a base.

For the Easy Green Smoothie, I used almond milk. I was a little apprehensive since it was my first time using it, but luckily for me, it turned out to be a wonderful base for the smoothie.

The almond milk combined fabulously with the spinach and banana, making a delicious, nutrient-packed drink that was easy to guzzle. I had the Easy Green Smoothie for breakfast, but it would work as a refreshing any-time-of-day, any-time-of-night drink.

Follow the recipe to make it, but also allow yourself some ingredient- and proportion-based improvisation.
