  • 1½ teaspoon spirulina, optional
  • 1½ cups (45 g) baby spinach

Directions

  1. Place all ingredients into the Vitamix container in the order listed and secure the lid.
  2. Start the blender on its lowest speed, then quickly increase to its highest speed. Blend for 45–60 seconds, using the tamper to press ingredients toward the blades.
