Easy Green Vegan Smoothie

Typical, right?  Beginning of January and I'm coming at you with a green smoothie.  Because if you're familiar with my New Year's Resolutions, you'll know that I'm trying to make smarter meal choices, starting with this smoothie.  

I think green smoothies are one of the easiest ways to eat spinach but still feel like you're having something indulgent because who doesn't love a smoothie?!  This version is the one I make the most frequently simply because it's so easy to have all the ingredients on hand or in the freezer.  Plus, prepping in advance (like pre-chopping and freezing a bunch of bananas) makes whipping this green baby up a matter of minutes.  

I fully intend to experiment with a variety of new smoothies and I'd love recipe ideas!  What's your favorite healthy smoothie?
