Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Pour 1 cup of almond milk into the blender.
- Add 1/2 cup of water to the blender. Adding liquids first helps the blender blades move more freely.

- Secure the lid on the blender.
- Start blending on a low setting and gradually increase to a high setting.
- Blend for about 1-2 minutes or until the mixture is smooth and all the ingredients are well incorporated. There should be no visible chunks.
- If the smoothie is too thick for your liking, you can add a bit more water or almond milk and blend again until you reach your desired consistency.
- Pour the smoothie into a glass and enjoy it fresh.
- If you'd like to customize your smoothie, you can add a few optional ingredients like:
- 1 tablespoon of chia seeds or flax seeds for extra fiber.
- 1/2 cup of ice cubes if you prefer a colder smoothie.
- A teaspoon of honey or agave syrup for added sweetness.
Tips:
- For a creamier texture, use a frozen banana instead of a fresh one.
- If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, add a teaspoon of honey or agave syrup.
- Feel free to add a scoop of your favorite protein powder for an extra protein boost.
- For additional nutrients, consider adding a tablespoon of chia seeds or flaxseeds.
- You can replace the almond milk with any plant-based milk or dairy milk based on your preference.
