Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Base Liquid (Choose 1)
  • 1 cup Almond milk or water, coconut water, or dairy milk
Fruit (Choose 1)
  • 1/2 Frozen banana for creaminess and sweetness
  • 1/2 cup Frozen berries for antioxidants
Greens (Choose 1 Handful)
  • 1 handful Spinach mild flavor, high in nutrients
  • 1/2 handful Kale use less if you prefer a milder taste
Boosters (Choose 1-2)
  • 1 tablespoon Chia seeds or Flax seeds for fiber and healthy fats
  • 1 scoop Protein powder for muscle recovery
  • 1/4 teaspoon Turmeric for anti-inflammatory benefits

Equipment

  • Blender

Method
 

  1. Place the base liquid into your blender first. This helps the blades move freely.
  2. Add your chosen fruit and greens to the blender.
  3. Add your selected boosters, such as seeds or protein powder.
  4. Secure the lid and blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides once.
  5. Pour the smoothie into a glass and drink immediately for the best texture and nutrient absorption.

Notes

When I first started making smoothies, I used too much ice, which made them watery. Using frozen fruit instead of fresh fruit and ice gives you a thicker, colder result without diluting the flavor.
