Chef's Note
Blending the raw oats and almonds with water first creates an instant, fiber-rich milk base that eliminates the need for store-bought alternatives and keeps the recipe completely clean and unprocessed!

Add 1 cup of ice cubes if desired for an extra-chilled texture. Secure the blender lid tightly and blend on medium speed for 30 seconds to break down the solid ingredients, then increase the speed to high for 45 to 60 seconds until the spinach is fully pulverized and the smoothie is thick, creamy, and vibrant green.

Pour the smoothie evenly into two large glasses and serve immediately for optimal nutrient absorption and texture.
