A creamy blueberry spinach smoothie that’s perfect for rushed mornings, packed with antioxidants and nutrients to keep your energy steady.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup frozen blueberries
  • 1 small handful fresh spinach or 1 cup packed baby spinach
  • 1 ripe banana, sliced and frozen
  • 3/4 cup milk of choice
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt or a plant-based yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon nut butter or 1 teaspoon chia or flax
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons pure honey or maple syrup, optional
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • A few ice cubes, optional

Instructions

  1. Add liquids first, then soft ingredients, then frozen fruit on top.
  2. Blend on low to break it up, then move to high for 30 to 60 seconds.
  3. Stop, scrape, and add a splash more milk only if needed.
  4. Taste and add a touch of honey or a squeeze of lemon to brighten it.

Notes

Frozen berries sweeten naturally, and a tiny pinch of salt enhances blueberry flavor. Adjust sweetener to taste.
