Flat Belly Blueberry Smoothie
Ingredients
1 cup Fresh or frozen blueberries
1/2 Banana (frozen makes it creamier!)
1/2 cup Yogurt (Greek yogurt is a great choice for extra protein)
1 tbsp Chia seeds
1 tsp Cinnamon
Optional Liquid: 1/2 cup water, almond milk, or coconut water (to help with blending)
Optional Garnish: Fresh mint leaves or a few extra blueberries
Instructions
Prep: If you are using a fresh banana, you can peel and slice it beforehand.
Combine: Add the blueberries, banana, yogurt, chia seeds, and cinnamon into your blender.
Blend: Start on a low setting and gradually increase to high. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and the chia seeds are well-incorporated.
Adjust: If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash of your preferred liquid and pulse again.
Serve: Pour into a tall glass or mason jar. Top with fresh mint or extra berries if you’re feeling fancy!
