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

  1. Gather Ingredients: Collect all the ingredients and place them on your kitchen countertop to make the preparation process smooth and efficient.
  2. Add Almond Milk to Blender: Pour 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk into the blender first to help with blending the other ingredients evenly.
  3. 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.
  4. Blend Until Smooth: Blend all ingredients on high speed until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and free of any chunks.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
