While this is an overall well-balanced smoothie, consider swapping the ripe banana with a green one if you're looking to reduce simple sugars since ripe bananas have a higher sugar content. Plus, green bananas are a great source of resistant starch, which acts as a prebiotic, promoting gut health.
The spinach addition is smart; it's rich in micronutrients such as iron and magnesium. Make sure you add a source of Vitamin C to aid iron absorption though! The mixed berries are good, but something like a small orange or kiwi could help too.
Also, depending on your protein goals, you might want to add a scoop of protein powder. Whey, pea or rice protein could work well in this context and won't alter your smoothie's flavor much.
Other than that, solid recipe!
