Healthy Smoothie Recipe
Bright, creamy, and bursting with fresh fruit goodness, this Healthy Smoothie Recipe is your new go-to for a quick, nutritious breakfast or afternoon pick-me-up. When spring strawberries peek into markets, mix them with banana, spinach, and almond milk for a smoothie that tastes like sunshine in a glass.
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries sub: raspberries or mixed berries
- 1 ripe banana sliced sub: frozen banana for extra chill
- 1 cup baby spinach leaves sub: kale, lightly steamed
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or oat/soy milk
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt whole-milk Greek yogurt adds extra creaminess
- 1 Tbsp chia seeds sub: ground flaxseed for omega-3 boost
- 1 tsp honey or pure maple syrup optional, for extra sweetness
Instructions
- Rinse strawberries and spinach; slice the banana. A quick pat-dry spinach avoids extra water.
- First banana slices, then strawberries, then spinach—this order helps the blades catch every bit.
- Add almond milk and Greek yogurt for that dreamy, creamy base.
- Sprinkle chia seeds on top and drizzle honey or maple syrup if you like things sweeter.
- Blend on high until smooth—pause once to scrape down the sides with a spatula if needed.
- Check the pour: if it’s too thick, add a splash more milk; if too thin, toss in another ice cube.
- Serve in chilled glasses and garnish with a mint leaf or a berry slice.
Notes
Choose ripe, fragrant berries and a banana with a few brown spots for natural sweetness and a smooth texture. When testing, fewer ice cubes keep the smoothie ultra-smooth.
