Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (150g) frozen mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries)
- 1 medium ripe banana
- 1 cup (30g) fresh spinach
- ½ cup (120ml) plain Greek yogurt (or coconut yogurt for dairy-free)
- ½ cup (120ml) orange juice (freshly squeezed preferred)
- 1 tablespoon (15ml) honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 1 tablespoon (15g) chia seeds
- ½ cup (120ml) ice cubes
Instructions
- Peel the banana and slice it into chunks for easier blending. Measure out frozen berries, fresh spinach, yogurt, orange juice, honey (if using), and chia seeds. Prep takes about 5 minutes.
- Add ingredients to the blender in this order: frozen berries first, then banana slices and spinach, followed by Greek yogurt, orange juice, honey (if using), chia seeds, and finally ice cubes.
- Secure the lid and blend starting on low speed, gradually increasing to high. Blend for 45-60 seconds until smooth and creamy with no chunks.
- Taste the smoothie. If too thick, add a splash more orange juice or water and blend for 10 more seconds. If more sweetness is needed, add extra honey or maple syrup and blend briefly.
- Pour smoothie into a glass or reusable cup. Garnish with fresh berries or chia seeds if desired and serve immediately.
Notes
If blender struggles with frozen berries, let them thaw for 5 minutes before blending. Blending spinach first with juice before adding frozen fruit helps achieve smoother texture. Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness. Can swap spinach for kale or add protein powder for extra nutrition. Store leftovers in airtight container refrigerated up to 24 hours; shake before drinking.
