Ingredients
1 Frozen banana

1/2 Of a ripe avocado
2–3 cups Spinach
1 tsp. Honey
1/2 cup Greek yogurt

Step 3: Pour the green smoothie into clear glasses, filling each about three-quarters full. Carefully spoon or swirl in the strawberry puree, giving a gentle swirl with a toothpick or knife for a marbled effect.
Step 4: Garnish with a sliced strawberry “heart” on the side or on top to mimic the Grinch’s heart growing three sizes!
