Greek Yogurt Smoothie
Description
The smoothie combines a cup of frozen berries including strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries with half a cup of vanilla-flavored Greek yogurt for creaminess and tartness. Large handfuls of spinach add a mild vegetal note and nutrients without overwhelming the flavor. Unsweetened vanilla almond milk thins the mixture to a smooth, drinkable consistency.
Optional ingredients like chia seeds provide fiber and a slightly gelatinous texture upon hydration, and collagen or protein powder can boost nutritional content. Blending all ingredients until smooth yields a thick, rich smoothie with a balance of sweetness and freshness from the fruit and creaminess from the yogurt.
Adjusting amounts of frozen fruit or ice can control thickness. The berry and spinach combination makes this smoothie a nutritious choice for breakfast or a snack.
For thickness, adding more frozen fruit, ice, bananas, or avocado can enhance texture and creaminess. Yogurt can be replaced or omitted, using banana or avocado to maintain smooth texture if desired.
Ingredients
- 1 cup mixed berries I used strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries, frozen
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt vanilla flavor
- 2 spinach large handfuls
- 1/2 cup almond milk unsweetened vanilla
- 2 teaspoons chia seeds optional, but they're such a great superfood
- 1 coop collagen powder optional, or protein powder
Instructions
- Place all ingredients into blender and blend until smooth. You can add more ice or almond milk to achieve a desired consistency, but I find that the listed amounts of ingredients produce a really great smoothie texture.
Notes
- Add more frozen fruit, ice, or creamy fruit like banana or avocado to thicken the smoothie.
- Use chia seeds to increase fiber and help thicken the blend as they expand.
- You can omit or substitute yogurt with banana or avocado for creaminess without dairy.
