Combining the sweetness of blueberries and banana with the protein from whey powder and the added benefits of chia seeds, this smoothie is both tasty and beneficial for your health.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Peel the 1/2 banana.
- Rinse the blueberries if using fresh ones. If using frozen, no need to rinse.
- Measure out 1/2 cup of almond milk.
- Rinse and pat dry the spinach leaves if they are not pre-washed.
- Place the 1/2 banana, cut into chunks, into the blender.
- Add the 1/2 cup of blueberries.
- Pour in the 1/2 cup of almond milk.
- Add the 1/2 package of spinach.
- Add 1 scoop of whey protein powder.
- Finally, add the 1/2 oz of chia seeds to the blender.
- Secure the lid on the blender.
- Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and well combined. This usually takes about 30-60 seconds. If the smoothie is too thick, you can add a little more almond milk to reach your desired consistency.
- Pour the smoothie into a glass or a shaker cup.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh flavors and nutrients.
- If you like, you can garnish with a few extra blueberries or a sprinkle of chia seeds on top.
Tips:
- For a thicker smoothie, use frozen blueberries and banana.
- If you prefer a sweeter taste, add a teaspoon of honey or a few drops of stevia.
- Blend for an extra 30 seconds to ensure the chia seeds are fully incorporated and the smoothie has an even consistency.
- Feel free to customize the smoothie with other add-ins like flax seeds, a spoonful of nut butter, or even a handful of kale.
- For a dairy-free option, use a plant-based protein powder instead of whey.
Enjoy your refreshing Spinach and Chia Smoothie, knowing that you are nourishing your body with a well-rounded blend of fruits, greens, protein, and superfoods. This smoothie is an excellent way to stay energized, satisfy your hunger, and support your health goals.
