Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Frozen mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries)
- 1 cup Baby spinach
- 1 medium Banana
- 1 tablespoon Ground flaxseed
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt (optional, for added creaminess and protein)
- 1 teaspoon Honey or maple syrup (optional, to taste)
Instructions
Gather all ingredients and set up your blender.
Add the frozen mixed berries to the blender.
Follow with the baby spinach to tuck it beneath the fruit (it'll blend into the flavors!).
Peel and break the banana into chunks, adding it to the blender.
Sprinkle in the ground flaxseed for an omega-3 and fiber boost.
Pour the almond milk over the ingredients to help with blending.
If you want extra creaminess, add Greek yogurt on top.
Taste preference? Add honey or maple syrup if you'd like some added sweetness.
Blend all ingredients together on high until smooth and creamy, about 1–2 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the blender, if necessary, to ensure everything is fully incorporated.
Pour into glasses, serve chilled immediately, and enjoy your sneaky, healthy creation!
