Method

Base & Liquid

1

Measure liquids

Pour 1 cup unsweetened almond milk and 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt into the blender. These create the creamy base and help the smoothie blend smoothly.

Fruit & Veg

2

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

3

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

4

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.

5

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.
