Pour the smoothie into two large cups and serve cold.
Notes
Leftover smoothies keep covered in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Stir the smoothie well or refresh it by blending it with ½ cup ice before serving.
Make a berry spinach smoothie by blending 1 cup of berries (frozen or fresh) in place of the blueberries.
Baby kale, baby swiss chard, or a baby power green blend can substitute for the baby spinach.
Hemp seeds add extra nutrition and protein to the smoothie but they can be omitted if you don't have them on hand.
