Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Frozen banana
- 1 cup Fresh spinach
- 1 cup Almond milk (unsweetened)
- 1 cup Frozen mixed berries
- 1 tablespoon Greek yogurt (plain, unsweetened)
- 1 teaspoon Chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon Honey or maple syrup (optional)
Instructions
Peel and slice a ripe banana before freezing it overnight or for at least 2-3 hours for a creamier smoothie, if not already frozen.
Gather all your ingredients and ensure the spinach is rinsed and drained properly.
Add the almond milk to your blender first to help the blades run smoothly.
Add the frozen banana, fresh spinach, frozen mixed berries, and Greek yogurt to the blender.
Sprinkle in the chia seeds, and, if desired, add honey or maple syrup for extra sweetness.
Blend the mixture on high speed for about 1-2 minutes, or until the smoothie is completely smooth and creamy. Stop and scrape down the sides of the blender with a spatula if needed.
Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness as desired by adding more honey or maple syrup. Blend briefly to combine.
Pour the smoothie into a glass, garnish with extra chia seeds or a few berries if desired, and serve immediately.
