Pour 1 cup milk (or plant-based milk), 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, and 1/4 cup cold water into the blender. Starting with liquids helps the blades move freely and creates a smooth texture.

Fruits

Add fruits and greens

Add the sliced banana, 1 cup frozen mixed berries, and 1 packed cup fresh spinach to the blender on top of the liquids. If you prefer a colder smoothie, use a frozen banana instead of fresh.

Flavor & Sweetener

Add sweeteners

Add 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. Taste after blending and adjust sweetness if desired.

Boosters & Texture

Add boosters

Add 2 tablespoons rolled oats and 1 teaspoon chia seeds to the blender. If you want a thicker, colder smoothie, add about 4 ice cubes.

Blend

Secure the blender lid and blend on low for 10–15 seconds, then increase to high and blend 30–60 seconds until completely smooth and no large bits remain. If mixture is too thick, add 1–2 tablespoons more water or milk and pulse until desired consistency is reached.

Serve & Garnish

Pour the smoothie into a tall glass. Garnish with a fresh berry or banana slice and a light sprinkle (1/2 tsp) of chia seeds or oats if desired. Serve immediately for best texture.
