Sweet and a little spicy from the ginger, it’s a great way to wake up in the morning. There’s protein from the yogurt and fiber from the fresh fruit and vegetables, for a wholesome drink that balances nutrition with flavor. Make-ahead tip: Freeze your bananas up to three hours ahead of time. It’s best to have them in your freezer ready to go. Ingredients 2 medium-size (5 oz. each) ripe bananas, sliced and frozen (about 1 1/2 cups) 2 cups packed fresh baby spinach (about 2 oz.) 1 cup chopped fresh mango (from 1 medium [7 1/2 oz.] mango) or chopped frozen mango (from 1 [1-lb.] pkg.) 2/3 cup chopped peeled kiwi (from 2 medium [2 1/2 oz. each] kiwi) 1/2 cup plain or vanilla whole-milk strained (Greek-style) yogurt 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut milk or whole milk 1 1/2 tsp. chopped fresh ginger (from 1 [2-in.] piece) Directions Process bananas, spinach, mango, kiwi, yogurt, milk, and ginger in a blender until smooth, about 1 minute.
