Mixed Berry Smoothie Without Banana
Description
This smoothie combines frozen mixed berries with fresh baby spinach and nut milk for a fruity and slightly green beverage without using banana. Dates add natural sweetness and body, blending smoothly with the berries and greens. The recipe suggests optional additions like chia or hemp seeds, protein powder, flaxseed, collagen, or Greek yogurt to boost nutrition and texture, tailored to personal preference.
The method is straightforward: all ingredients go into a high-powered blender and blend until smooth. For less powerful blenders, pulsing before blending helps break down the ingredients. Those who prefer a sweeter smoothie can add maple syrup to balance tartness from the berries.
