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)
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
Gather all your ingredients and ensure the spinach is rinsed and drained properly.
Step 3
Add the almond milk to your blender first to help the blades run smoothly.
Step 4
Add the frozen banana, fresh spinach, frozen mixed berries, and Greek yogurt to the blender.
Step 5
Sprinkle in the chia seeds, and, if desired, add honey or maple syrup for extra sweetness.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness as desired by adding more honey or maple syrup. Blend briefly to combine.
Step 8
Pour the smoothie into a glass, garnish with extra chia seeds or a few berries if desired, and serve immediately.
