Description

A refreshing, nutritious smoothie combining ripe banana, fresh spinach, and antioxidant-rich blueberries with a touch of honey, chia seeds, and almond milk for a creamy and delicious drink. Perfect for a quick breakfast or snack.


Ingredients

1 ripe banana

1 cup fresh spinach leaves

1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)

1 cup almond milk (or any milk of your choice)

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)

1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional, for added nutrition)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for flavor)

Ice cubes (optional, for a chilled smoothie)


Instructions

  1. Prepare the banana by peeling and breaking it into chunks. For creaminess, use frozen banana.
  2. Rinse spinach leaves under cold water, shake off excess water.
  3. Rinse blueberries if fresh; if frozen, no thawing needed.
  4. Measure out 1 cup of almond milk.
  5. Blend banana, spinach, blueberries, chia seeds, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract in a blender. Add almond milk.
  6. Blend for 30-60 seconds until smooth. Adjust thickness with more almond milk or banana/ice cubes.
  7. Adjust sweetness with additional honey or maple syrup, then blend again.
  8. Pour into glasses and garnish with whole blueberries, banana slices, or chia seeds.
  9. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

Use frozen banana for extra creaminess and cold texture.

Customize with protein powder, nut butter, or tropical fruits for different flavors.

Store leftover smoothies in an airtight container for up to 24 hours, though texture may change.
