I am not a moron lol, I add the banana to my smoothie as a sweetener and to make it creamy, I add the spinach leaves, chia seeds, flax seeds and walnuts for health, along with a bunch of protein

Spinach is fine, the oxalates bind the spinach’s own nutrients. The only issue there is a higher risk of kidney stones, which is easily avoided by eating a balanced variety of mixed greens regularly instead of any single one.

The effect is caused by an enzyme in bananas that are part of it’s natural immune response. It breaks down polyphenols.
Worrying about shit like that is borderline orthorexia, I guess I also shouldn’t add spinach to my smoothie because oxalates
