Ingredients
½ cup bran cereal (such as All Bran original)
3 small bananas
1 cup frozen berries (blueberries, blackberries, or mixed)
½ cup milk
1-2 handfuls fresh spinach
1-2 tablespoons sweetener (sugar, honey, Truvia, or agave nectar, to taste)
Directions
Add the bananas and milk to your blender. Blend on medium to high speed for about 30 seconds until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
Add the fresh spinach to the blender. Blend on high speed for 30-45 seconds until the spinach is finely broken down and mostly incorporated into the mixture.
Add the frozen berries to the blender. Continue blending on high speed for 1-2 minutes until the smoothie reaches a uniform color and all fruit is fully combined.
Add the bran cereal and your chosen sweetener to taste. Blend on medium-high speed for another 20-30 seconds until the bran is fully incorporated and the smoothie reaches your desired thickness.
Pour the smoothie into two glasses and serve immediately. For a colder or thicker smoothie, add a handful of ice cubes and blend again until smooth before serving.
