This vibrant smoothie combines the sweetness of blueberries with the nutritional benefits of spinach, chia seeds, Greek yogurt, and a touch of honey.

Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Wash the blueberries and spinach thoroughly.
- Measure all the ingredients accurately to ensure the smoothie retains its intended nutritional balance.
- Start by pouring 1 cup of almond milk into your blender. This will prevent the other ingredients from sticking to the blade and ensure a smoother blend.
- Add 2/3 cup of Greek yogurt for creaminess.
- Drizzle in 1/2 tablespoon of honey to add a touch of sweetness.
- Toss in 1/2 cup of blueberries.
- Add 1/2 cup of spinach for a nutrient boost. Ensure the spinach is packed lightly into the measuring cup.
- Measure out 3.5 oz (approximately 100g) of chia seeds and sprinkle them into the mixture. These seeds will add fiber and omega-3 fatty acids to your smoothie.
- Secure the lid on your blender and blend on high speed for about 1-2 minutes, or until the mixture is smooth and there are no visible chunks of fruit or spinach.
- Check the consistency of your smoothie. If it's too thick for your liking, add a bit more almond milk and blend again. If it's too thin, you can add a few more blueberries or a small handful of spinach and blend until smooth.
- Pour the smoothie into glasses and serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
- If desired, top your smoothie with a few extra blueberries, a sprinkle of chia seeds, or a few fresh spinach leaves for presentation.
Tips:
- Use frozen blueberries to give your smoothie a thicker, creamier texture.
- If you prefer a thinner consistency, add more almond milk until you reach your desired thickness.
- For added convenience, prepare smoothie packs with pre-measured ingredients (excluding the liquid) and store them in your freezer. In the morning, simply add almond milk and blend.
- Feel free to adjust the sweetness by adding more or less honey, or substitute with agave nectar or maple syrup.
- To make the smoothie even more nutrient-dense, consider adding a scoop of your favorite protein powder.
With just a few simple ingredients, you can whip up a scrumptious and nutrient-rich Skinny Blueberry Spinach Smoothie that will leave you feeling satisfied and invigorated. Whether you're aiming to boost your intake of fruits and vegetables or looking for a tasty way to incorporate chia seeds into your diet, this smoothie is an excellent choice. Enjoy the perfect blend of flavors and health benefits in every sip!
