Jumpstart your day with this vibrant, berry-packed smoothie! A quick, protein-rich blend of spinach, banana, and almond milk, perfect for weight loss. Full instructions & nutrition.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 cup fresh spinach
  • 1 cup frozen mixed berries
  • 1 scoop vanilla or unflavored protein powder
  • 1/2 medium ripe banana
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (optional, for extra protein and creaminess)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Gather all your ingredients and your high-speed blender. First, pour the unsweetened almond milk into the bottom of the blender carafe.
  2. Step 2: Add the fresh spinach, frozen mixed berries, 1/2 medium ripe banana, 1 tablespoon of chia seeds, and 1 scoop of protein powder into the blender. If using, add the 1/2 cup of plain Greek yogurt now.
  3. Step 3: Secure the lid tightly on the blender. Start blending on a low setting and gradually increase to high speed until all the ingredients are completely smooth and well combined, with no leafy chunks remaining. You may need to pause and scrape down the sides with a spatula if ingredients stick.
  4. Step 4: Once smooth, taste the smoothie and adjust consistency or sweetness if desired. If it's too thick, add a splash more almond milk. For extra sweetness, a tiny amount of natural sweetener like stevia or a date can be added (optional).
  5. Step 5: Pour the vibrant, healthy smoothie into a tall glass and serve immediately for a quick and nutritious start to your day.

Notes

  • Enjoy this smoothie immediately for peak freshness, but any leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours; just give it a good shake before drinking.
  • If your smoothie has thickened after being in the fridge, simply add a splash more almond milk or water and stir well or briefly re-blend to achieve your preferred consistency.
  • Elevate your breakfast by garnishing your vibrant smoothie with a sprinkle of granola, a few extra fresh berries, or a drizzle of nut butter for added texture and healthy fats.
  • For the creamiest, iciest blend without diluting flavor, consider freezing your ripe banana slices overnight before adding them to the blender.
