Instructions

Preparation

1Gather all your ingredients: frozen mixed berries, fresh spinach, a ripe banana, unsweetened almond milk, and chia seeds.
2If your banana is not already peeled, peel it now. For a colder smoothie, you can use a frozen banana.

Blending

1Add the almond milk to your blender first, followed by the spinach. This helps the spinach blend more easily into a smooth consistency.
2Add the frozen mixed berries, banana, and chia seeds to the blender.
3Secure the lid on your blender and blend on high speed until all ingredients are completely smooth and combined. If the mixture is too thick, add a little more almond milk, one tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.

Serving

1Pour the Berry Spinach Power Smoothie into two glasses.
2Serve immediately and enjoy its refreshing taste and nutritional benefits.

Tips

For extra chill, freeze your banana beforehand. This also helps with creating a thicker, creamier smoothie texture.
Top your smoothie with a few fresh berries, a sprinkle of granola, or coconut flakes for added texture and visual appeal.
