Instructions
- Measure the listed ingredients: spinach (fresh or frozen), fresh basil leaves, lemon (juiced), unsweetened almond milk, honey or agave (optional), small banana (for creaminess), ice cubes (optional). Wash any produce, remove stones, seeds and tough peel, and chop into small pieces.
- Soak any oats, seeds or dried fruit as specified in the ingredients. Use soft, prepared ingredients; do not add whole hard nuts or frozen chunks unless your model supports them.
- Add the measured cool water, milk or other liquid to the jar first. Add the prepared fruit, vegetables and remaining ingredients. Stay below the MAX fill line and divide larger recipes into batches.
- Close the jar and lid securely. Blend using the cycle in your model's manual; stop the motor before checking texture or opening the jar. Never blend hot or carbonated liquids in a sealed jar.
- If too thick, add liquid one tablespoon at a time and blend briefly. Taste, serve immediately and clean the jar according to the manual.
