Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup fresh spinach or kale (rich in iron and antioxidants)
- 1 ripe banana
- 1 cup frozen mango or pineapple chunks
- ½ cup Greek yogurt (for creaminess and protein)
- 1 cup plant-based milk (almond, coconut, or oat milk)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (fiber and omega-3 fatty acids)
- ½ teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- Optional: a splash of honey or agave syrup for added sweetness
Instructions
- In a blender, add the fresh greens (spinach or kale) and pour in the plant-based milk. Blend until the greens are finely chopped.
- Add the banana, frozen mango or pineapple, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, and grated ginger to the blender.
- Blend on high speed until all ingredients are smooth and creamy. If the smoothie is too thick, add more milk to reach your desired consistency.
- Sample the smoothie and add honey or agave syrup if you prefer it sweeter. Blend again briefly to mix.
- Pour into your favorite glass and enjoy immediately for maximum freshness and flavor.
Notes
- If you have leftovers, store the smoothie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Shake or stir before consuming, as separation may occur.
- You can pre-portion ingredients and freeze them for quick morning blends.
