Berry Smoothie

Total Time6 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 cup frozen mixed berries strawberries, blueberries, raspberries
  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt for that creamy protein hit
  • ½ ripe banana fresh or frozen – the natural sweetener
  • ¼ small avocado trust me, for creaminess, not guac flavor
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or milk of your choice
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds fiber and omega-3s, hello
  • 1 large handful of fresh spinach you won't taste it, seriously
  • Optional: A drizzle of honey or a pinch of dates if you like it sweeter

Instructions

  • Grab your blender. Is it plugged in?
  • Good. We're starting strong.
  • Add the liquid first – the almond milk. This helps everything else blend without straining your motor.
  • Your blender will thank you later.
  • Pile in the spinach and the soft ingredients: Greek yogurt, avocado, and the banana.
  • Top it off with the frozen berries and chia seeds. The frozen fruit is key – it replaces the need for ice, which just waters everything down.
  • Secure the lid tightly. IMO, this is the most critical step unless you want abstract art on your kitchen walls.
  • Blend on high for 45-60 seconds.
  • Stop and scrape down the sides if needed. You're looking for a thick, creamy, uniformly purple consistency.
  • Pour into a glass, try not to drink it all in one go, and congratulate yourself on adulting correctly.
