Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 banana
- 1/2 cup spinach
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/2 cup frozen berries
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and ensure they are fresh and properly measured. Wash the spinach thoroughly and peel the banana.
- Add the frozen berries to the blender first to help create a smooth base. The frozen berries will provide thickness and coldness to the smoothie.
- Slice the banana into small chunks and add to the blender. Breaking the banana into smaller pieces helps it blend more easily.
- Measure and add the fresh spinach leaves. Spinach is nutrient-dense and will provide additional fiber and minerals to support weight loss.
- Pour in the Greek yogurt, which adds protein and helps create a creamy texture. Choose a low-fat or non-fat variety for fewer calories.
- Add almond milk to help blend the ingredients smoothly. Almond milk is lower in calories compared to regular milk.
- Drizzle honey for natural sweetness. Use sparingly to keep the calorie count low.
- Blend all ingredients on high speed for 45-60 seconds until completely smooth and no chunks remain.
- Pause and scrape down the sides of the blender to ensure all ingredients are fully integrated.
- Pour the smoothie into two glasses. If desired, garnish with a few berries or a spinach leaf.
- Serve immediately for maximum nutritional benefits and freshest taste. Best consumed within 15 minutes of preparation.
