- Ingredients
- 2 cups 60 grams fresh spinach or kale
- 1 cup 240 milliliters water or almond milk
- 1 cup 150 grams frozen berries or mango
- 1 banana
- 1 tablespoon 15 grams chia seeds or flaxseeds
- 1 scoop 30 grams protein powder (optional)
Instructions
Add the Liquid Base: Pour water or almond milk into the blender first. This helps the blades move freely and blend the ingredients smoothly.
Add Leafy Greens: Pack in the fresh spinach or kale. Blending greens with the liquid first ensures they break down completely.
Add Fruits: Add the banana and frozen berries or mango. Frozen fruit helps create a thick and refreshing smoothie.
Add Superfoods and Protein: Sprinkle in the chia seeds or flaxseeds and add a scoop of protein powder if using.
Blend Until Smooth: Start blending on low speed, gradually increasing to high. Blend until the smoothie is completely smooth and creamy, about 30-60 seconds.
Serve and Enjoy: Pour the smoothie into a glass or a to-go cup, insert a reusable straw, and enjoy your nutrient-packed drink!
