Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables and Fruits
- 2 cups Baby spinach (packed)
- 1 medium Banana
- 1/2 cup Kiwi (frozen)
- 3/4 cup Mango (frozen)
- 1 medium Orange (peeled and divided into sections)
Dairy and Liquids
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
- 1/2 cup Full-fat Greek yogurt
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Gather all the ingredients including spinach, banana, kiwi, mango, orange, almond milk, and Greek yogurt, and place them into a high-power blender. This preparation ensures that everything is ready for blending in one smooth process.
- Blend Until Smooth: Blend the mixture on high speed for 30 to 60 seconds until it reaches a smooth and creamy consistency, with no chunks remaining. This step helps to fully incorporate all flavors and nutrients into a delicious beverage.
- Adjust Consistency: Check the consistency of your smoothie and gradually add more almond milk if you prefer a lighter, thinner texture. Blend for a few more seconds if needed to achieve the desired smoothness and consistency.
Notes
- Using frozen fruits helps achieve a chilled smoothie without the need for ice, keeping the flavor concentrated.
- Full-fat Greek yogurt adds creaminess and protein but can be swapped for low-fat or dairy-free alternatives if desired.
- Feel free to substitute almond milk with any other milk or plant-based milk according to dietary preferences.
- Adding a tablespoon of chia seeds or flaxseeds can boost the fiber and omega-3 content.
- For extra sweetness, add a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup, though the fruit usually provides enough natural sweetness.
