Easy Mixed Berry Spinach Banana Smoothie
Fruity and flavorful, this quick and simple smoothie is a filling snack, breakfast, or meal. Get some extra spinach without even knowing it!
Equipment
- 1 High-powered blender
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (store bought or click for homemade recipe)
- 1 banana frozen or fresh
- 1 cup spinach frozen or fresh
- 1 cup frozen mixed berries
Instructions
- Blend all ingredients together in a high-powered blender. If you have a smoothie setting, simply set this. Otherwise blend for 1 minute or until completely blended and smooth. (Please note that if you do not have a high-powered blender, you may need to thaw your ingredients for about 30 minutes prior. Another option is to add a little more almond milk.)
Notes
If you don’t have almond milk, you can use 1 cup of water and 1 teaspoon almond butter. Blend until well combined to create the almond milk. Then add rest of the smoothie ingredients.
A frozen banana will result in a thicker smoothie, where a fresh banana will result in a thinner smoothie.
If using store bought frozen spinach in a package, use just 1/2 cup as it is more condensed. Using the full cup may make your smoothie more bitter.
If you use collagen powder, putting it in a smoothie is a great way to consume it. After your smoothie is completely blended, add your collagen powder and blend on low until it is combined.
