🥤 Berry Almond Green Smoothie
This recipe is packed with antioxidants, healthy fats, and fiber to keep you energized.
Ingredients
-
Liquid: 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of your choice).
-
Fruit: 1/2 cup frozen blueberries and 1/2 cup fresh or frozen strawberries.
-
Greens: 1 handful of fresh baby spinach (adds color and nutrients without changing the taste).
-
Creaminess & Protein: 1 tablespoon almond butter or a small handful of raw almonds.
-
Sweetener (Optional): 1-2 pitted dates or 1/2 a frozen banana for extra thickness.
-
Toppings: Extra blueberries, a strawberry slice, and a sprinkle of sliced almonds.
Instructions
-
Layer the Ingredients: Add the almond milk to your blender first (this helps it blend smoother), followed by the spinach, almond butter, and finally the frozen berries.
-
Blend: Start on a low speed and gradually increase to high. Blend for 45–60 seconds until the spinach is completely pulverized and the texture is creamy.
-
Adjust Consistency: If it’s too thick, add a splash more almond milk. If it’s too thin, add a few ice cubes or more frozen fruit.
-
Serve: Pour into a glass or mason jar. Top with fresh berries and almonds as seen in your image for that perfect “insta-worthy” look!
Quick Tips for the Best Result
