Calories: 320kcal

Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh spinach or kale or a mix, because variety is the spice of life
  • 1 frozen banana for creaminess and sweetness
  • 1/2 cup frozen mango or pineapple your tropical mood booster
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk or any milk you actually like
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt or dairy-free yogurt for dairy-free days
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds for fiber and texture
  • 1 tablespoon almond butter or peanut butter optional but wise
  • 1/2 teaspoon grated ginger or a pinch of cinnamon optional spice kick
  • Ice cubes as needed for the chill factor

Instructions

  • Dump the greens, banana, and frozen fruit into the blender. Yes, all at once. No fancy layering required.
  • Add milk, yogurt, and chia seeds. This is where the smoothie starts to become a real deal.
  • Drop in the nut butter and any spice you like. Pro tip: ginger is a flavor punch, cinnamon is a cozy hug.
  • Blend on high until silky smooth. If it’s too thick, splash in a little more milk and blend again.
  • Add ice and blend briefly for a refreshing chill. Sip, smile, and realize you’re not a morning zombie anymore.
