Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (240ml) unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/2 cup (120g) plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups (225g) frozen blueberries
  • 1 medium (120g) frozen banana, sliced
  • 2 tbsp (24g) chia seeds
  • 1 cup (30g) fresh baby spinach (optional)
  • 1 scoop (30g) vanilla protein powder (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Add the almond milk, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract to the blender. Blend on medium for 10 seconds to ensure the yogurt is fully incorporated.
  2. Add the frozen blueberries and frozen banana slices. Blend on high until the mixture is a uniform, deep purple color and the texture is thick and glossy.
  3. Add the chia seeds. Pulse the blender 3-5 times to distribute the seeds without fully breaking them down.
  4. Pour the smoothie into a glass and let it sit for 5 minutes to allow the chia seeds to hydrate and plump up.
