Method
Base & Liquid
Fruit & Veg
Add fruit and greens
Add 1 cup frozen mixed berries, 1/2 cup frozen sliced banana, and 1 cup fresh baby spinach on top of the liquid. Placing heavier items last helps the blades catch them.
Protein & Boosters
Add protein and seeds
Spoon in 1 scoop vanilla protein powder and 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed. Add 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup for a touch of sweetness, adjusting to taste.
Optional Add-ins / Garnish
Ice and blend
If you prefer a thicker, colder smoothie, add 4 ice cubes. Secure the blender lid and blend on low for 10–15 seconds to break up solids, then increase to high and blend for 30–45 seconds until completely smooth and velvety. If the smoothie is too thick, add 1–2 tablespoons almond milk and pulse again.
Serve and garnish
Pour the smoothie into a glass. Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon chia seeds on top and add 1 fresh mint leaf for garnish. Taste and adjust sweetness if desired.
