Ingredients:
- 1 cup baby spinach leaves
- 1/2 banana (frozen for a creamier texture)
- 1/2 cup frozen mixed berries (such as blueberries, strawberries, raspberries)
- 1/4 avocado
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon almond butter (or your favorite nut butter)
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
- 1/2 cup cold water (adjust for desired thickness)
- Optional: a drizzle of honey or a medjool date for natural sweetness
Instructions:
-
Start by adding the baby spinach leaves to your blender. If you prefer a colder and thicker smoothie, you can add a few ice cubes at this stage.
-
Add the frozen banana, frozen mixed berries, avocado, chia seeds, and almond butter to the blender.
-
Pour in the unsweetened almond milk and cold water.
-
If you'd like a touch of natural sweetness, add a drizzle of honey or a pitted medjool date.
-
Blend on high speed until all the ingredients are well combined and you have a smooth, creamy consistency.
-
Pause and check the consistency. If it's too thick, you can add more water or almond milk and blend again until you reach your desired texture.
-
Taste and adjust sweetness or flavor if needed. You can add more honey or another date if you'd like it sweeter, or more chia seeds for added texture.
-
Once you're satisfied with the taste and consistency, pour your Green Goddess Power Smoothie into a glass.
-
Garnish with a sprinkle of chia seeds or some fresh berries, if desired.
-
Sip and enjoy your nutritious and energizing smoothie!
