Start your day with a nutritious and delicious Skinny Blueberry Spinach Smoothie, packed with essential nutrients and antioxidants. 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!
