Ingredients
Green Smoothie Ingredients
1 cup fresh baby spinach
1 ripe banana (sliced)
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
½ cup plain Greek yogurt
1 tbsp chia seeds (soaked)
Instructions
Gather Ingredients: Collect all the ingredients and place them on your kitchen countertop to make the preparation process smooth and efficient.
Add Almond Milk to Blender: Pour 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk into the blender first to help with blending the other ingredients evenly.
Add Remaining Ingredients: Add 1 cup fresh baby spinach, 1 sliced ripe banana, ½ cup plain Greek yogurt, and 1 tablespoon of soaked chia seeds into the blender on top of the almond milk.
Blend Until Smooth: Blend all ingredients on high speed until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and free of any chunks.
Taste and Adjust: Taste the smoothie and if you prefer it sweeter, add extra banana slices or a small amount of honey and blend again.
Serve Immediately: Pour the smoothie into your favorite glass and enjoy immediately to take full advantage of its freshness and nutritional benefits.
Notes
Soaking chia seeds beforehand makes them easier to digest and creates a smoother texture.
You can substitute Greek yogurt with a vegan alternative for a dairy-free smoothie.
Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness.
For a colder smoothie, add a few ice cubes before blending or use frozen banana slices.
If you prefer a thinner consistency, increase the almond milk slightly.
