Ingredients

• Blueberries: 1/2 cup (fresh or frozen)

• Strawberries: 1/2 cup (sliced)

• Spinach: 1 cup (fresh baby spinach leaves)

• Banana: 1/2 medium banana (sliced)

• Yogurt: 1/2 cup (plain Greek yogurt or regular yogurt)

• Chia seeds: 1 tablespoon

• Cinnamon: 1/4 teaspoon (ground)

• Ice cubes: 1/2 cup to 1 cup

• Liquid (Optional): 1/2 cup of water, milk, or almond milk to help it blend smoothly.

Instructions

1. Prep your blender: Start by adding your liquid base (if using) and the yogurt to the bottom of the blender. This helps the blades turn smoothly without getting stuck.

2. Add the greens and seeds: Place the spinach leaves, chia seeds, and ground cinnamon into the blender. Blending these early ensures the spinach gets completely broken down into a smooth texture.

3. Layer the fruit: Add the sliced banana, strawberries, and blueberries on top of the greens.

4. Add ice: Finish by dropping the ice cubes on top of the fruit layer.

5. Blend until smooth: Secure the lid tightly and blend on high speed for about 45 to 60 seconds. Continue blending until the mixture is completely uniform, creamy, and vibrant pink.

6. Serve and enjoy: Pour the fresh smoothie into a tall glass. Drink it immediately while chilled for the best taste and consistency!
