Instructions

Add the milk and vanilla extract to a high-speed blender.
Add the frozen banana, baby spinach, and ground ginger.
Add the ice cubes and sea salt.
Blend on low for 10 seconds, then increase to high and blend for 35–50 seconds until completely smooth.
Check consistency; blend in 1–2 tablespoons additional milk if too thick, or a few extra ice cubes or frozen fruit if too thin.
