Mixed Berry Smoothie
Creamy, sweet and packed full of berry flavor, this will be your go to smoothie. This delicious drink tastes delicious and is good for you too.
Ingredients
- 2 cups spinach fresh
- ¾ cup almond milk or milk of your choice
- 2 cups mixed frozen berries
- ½ cup vanilla yogurt
- 1 coop protein powder optional, vanilla
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds optional
Instructions
- Place the spinach and almond milk into a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth.
- Add frozen berries, yogurt, protein powder, chia seeds into the blender. Blend more until smooth.
- If the mixture is too thick add a little more almond milk a 1/4 cup at a time until it is the right thickness. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- If you have a high powered blender you can blend everything at the same time. If your blender is not a high powered blender mixing the spinach and the almond milk first can help to break down the spinach so it's easier to mix everything together smoothly.
- If substituting frozen spinach use about 1/3 cup in place of two cups of fresh spinach. Frozen spinach is much more condensed then fresh spinach.
- Chia seeds add good extra protein and fiber to the smoothie, but are optional.
- Protein powder is also optional in this smoothie but does add a lot of great protein.
