Making the Refreshing Green Smoothie is simple and follows these easy steps:

1. Gather Ingredients: Collect all your ingredients and ensure they are ready for processing.
2. Prepare Greens: Rinse the spinach or kale under cold water and pat dry.
3. Blend Greens: Add the greens and almond milk to a blender first. Blend on high speed until the greens are fully integrated into the liquid.
4. Add Fruits: Add the banana and chopped pineapple or mango to the blender. These fruits contribute natural sweetness and creaminess.
5. Incorporate Seeds: Add chia seeds or flaxseeds for added nutrition and texture.
6. Sweeten (if desired): If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, pour in the honey or maple syrup. Remember, the fruit already provides a natural sweetness, so adjust according to your taste.
7. Flavor Boost: Add the vanilla extract for an extra layer of flavor.
8. Ice It Up (optional): If you want a colder smoothie, toss in some ice cubes and blend again until smooth.
9. Taste Test: Blend well and check the flavor. Adjust sweetness or consistency as needed.
10. Serve: Pour the smoothie into a tall glass and enjoy immediately for the best taste and freshness.
