Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cup Frozen mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 1 cup Fresh spinach leaves
- 0.5 medium Avocado
- 1 tablespoon Chia seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 3 pieces Ice cubes
- 1 packet Stevia or low-calorie sweetener (optional)
Instructions
Gather all the ingredients and ensure you have a high-speed blender on hand.
Add the unsweetened almond milk to the blender as the base liquid.
Add the frozen mixed berries to the blender. These not only provide natural sweetness but also add a rich source of antioxidants.
Place the fresh spinach leaves into the blender. Spinach adds nutrients without altering the flavor significantly.
Scoop out the flesh from half a medium avocado and add it to the blender. Avocado provides a creamy texture and healthy fats, keeping it low-carb.
Add in the chia seeds to the blender. They are a great source of fiber and omega-3 fatty acids.
Pour the vanilla extract into the blender for flavor enhancement.
Add the ice cubes to make the smoothie refreshingly chilled.
If you prefer a sweeter taste, add one packet of a low-calorie sweetener like stevia.
Securely attach the blender lid and blend all the ingredients on high until smooth and creamy. This should take at least 1-2 minutes, depending on your blender's power.
Once blended, taste the smoothie to adjust sweetness and texture to your liking. Blend again if adjustments are made.
Pour the smoothie into a glass and enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture.
