Instructions:
Ensure your blender is clean and ready for use. A high-speed blender is recommended for the best texture.
Begin by adding the liquid ingredients first to help everything blend smoothly:
- Pour 1 cup of water (240g) into the blender.
Add the following ingredients to the blender:
- 1 cup frozen blueberries (160g).
- 1 cup frozen spinach (190g).
- 8 oz Greek yogurt (230g).
- 1 oz dried coconut meat (27g).
Carefully add:
- 4 egg yolks (70g).
- 3 tbsp butter (44g).
Add the spices for an extra health boost and flavor:
- 2 tsp turmeric powder (4.40g).
- 1/8 tsp cinnamon (0.31g).
Put the lid on the blender securely. Begin blending on a low setting to combine the ingredients, then increase to high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy. This should take about 1-2 minutes.
Taste your smoothie. If you prefer a thinner consistency, add a little more water and blend again. If you desire it to be sweeter, you might want to add a natural sweetener like honey or a ripe banana.
Pour the smoothie into glasses. Empty the blender promptly to prevent sticking.
If you like, you can garnish your smoothie with a sprinkle of additional cinnamon or some fresh blueberries.
Serve your Blueberry Spinach Smoothie immediately for the best flavor and texture. Enjoy this nutritious blend as a satisfying breakfast or a refreshing snack!
Tips:
- Ensure the blueberries and spinach are fully frozen to achieve a thick and creamy texture.
- If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, consider adding a teaspoon of honey or a natural sweetener of your choice.
- You can adjust the consistency of the smoothie by adding more or less water based on your preference.
- Blend the smoothie in stages to ensure all ingredients are thoroughly mixed for a smoother texture.
Your Blueberry Spinach Smoothie is now ready to enjoy! With its rich blend of flavors and powerhouse nutrients, this smoothie is not only delicious but also energizing and satisfying.
