Ingredients
Scale
- 3/4 cup frozen mixed berries
- 1/2 cup fresh baby spinach, packed
- 1/3 cup vanilla Greek yogurt (or plain)
- 1/4 cup milk of choice (dairy, almond, oat, etc.)
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 1/2 banana, frozen and cut into chunks (or fresh)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Place the frozen mixed berries, packed spinach, Greek yogurt, milk, orange juice, and frozen (or fresh) banana into a blender.
- Blend: Secure the lid and blend on high speed until completely smooth and creamy. If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash more milk or orange juice. If too thin, add a few more frozen berries or ice cubes.
- Serve: Pour into a glass and serve immediately.
Notes
- Frozen Fruit: Using frozen berries and banana creates a thick, cold smoothie without needing ice. If using all fresh fruit, add 1/2 cup of ice cubes for a chilled smoothie.
- Spinach: Baby spinach has a mild flavor that is easily masked by the fruit and yogurt.
- Yogurt: Greek yogurt adds creaminess and protein. Use plain or vanilla based on your sweetness preference.
- Liquid: Adjust the amount of milk or orange juice to reach your desired smoothie consistency.
- Variations: Add a tablespoon of chia seeds or flax seeds for extra fiber and nutrients, or a scoop of protein powder.
- Storage: Smoothies are best enjoyed immediately.
