Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
- 1 medium banana
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- 3/4 cup almond milk (or any preferred milk)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds or flaxseeds
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- Ice cubes (if using fresh blueberries)
- Honey or maple syrup (optional, for extra sweetness)
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Wash the spinach and blueberries if using fresh. Peel the banana.
- Blend: Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender.
- Blend Until Smooth: Blend for 30-60 seconds until creamy and well combined.
- Adjust Consistency: If the smoothie is too thick, add more milk. If it’s too thin, add a few more ice cubes.
- Serve Immediately: Pour into a glass and enjoy!
Notes
Use Frozen Blueberries: They make the smoothie thicker and colder without needing extra ice.
Balance Flavors: If the smoothie tastes too “green,” add a little honey or a few extra blueberries.
Boost the Protein: Add a scoop of protein powder or extra Greek yogurt.
Make It Creamier: Use half an avocado for a smoother texture.
Blend in Stages: If using a regular blender, blend spinach and milk first for a smoother result.
