Ingredients

Scale

Fruits

  • 1 ripe avocado

  • 1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)

Greens

  • 1 cup fresh spinach

Liquids

  • 1 cup almond milk (or any milk of your choice)

Sweeteners (Optional)

  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup

Extras (Optional)

  • Ice cubes


Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a blender. Peel the banana and add it as well.
  2. Add Greens: Rinse the spinach thoroughly and place it in the blender.
  3. Incorporate Blueberries: Add the blueberries to the blender. If using frozen berries, you can skip ice cubes for a smoother consistency.

  5. Sweeten It Up (Optional): If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, add honey or maple syrup to taste.
  6. Blend: Secure the lid on the blender and blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides if needed.
  7. Adjust Texture: If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more almond milk and blend again.
  8. Add Ice (Optional): For an extra refreshing smoothie, add ice cubes and blend until combined.
  9. Taste Test: Taste the smoothie and adjust the sweetness or creaminess if necessary by adding more sweetener or almond milk.
  10. Serve Immediately: Pour the smoothie into glasses and enjoy right away for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Use frozen blueberries and skip ice cubes for a creamy, chilled smoothie.
  • You can substitute almond milk with any milk or plant-based milk of your choice.
  • Adjust sweetness to your preference or omit sweetener for a naturally sweet smoothie.
  • For added protein, consider adding a scoop of your favorite protein powder or a spoonful of nut butter.
  • Consume immediately to enjoy the freshest taste and texture.
