Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup frozen blueberries (wild blueberries if available for a deeper flavor)
  • 1 to 2 cups fresh spinach, loosely packed
  • 1 medium ripe banana (fresh or frozen)
  • 3/4 to 1 cup milk of choice (dairy, almond, oat, or soy)
  • 1/2 cup plain or vanilla yogurt (Greek for extra protein)
  • 1 tablespoon nut butter (almond, peanut, or cashew) or 1 tablespoon chia or flax seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional but lovely)
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (optional, adjust to taste)
  • Pinch of cinnamon or a squeeze of lemon (optional twist)

Instructions
 

  • Add liquids first. Pour the milk into the blender. This helps the blades catch and blend smoothly.
  • Layer soft ingredients. Add the yogurt, banana, vanilla, and any sweetener. These provide creaminess and a stable base.
  • Add greens and boosts. Toss in the spinach and your nut butter or seeds. Spinach blends easily and disappears into the mix.
  • Top with frozen fruit. Finish with the frozen blueberries on top. This prevents clumping near the blades.
  • Blend until silky. Start low, then increase to high for 30–60 seconds. Scrape down the sides if needed.
  • Adjust texture. For a thicker smoothie, add a few more frozen berries or ice. For a thinner sip, splash in more milk.
  • Taste and tweak. Add a pinch of cinnamon for warmth or a squeeze of lemon to brighten the flavor. Blend briefly again.
  • Serve right away. Pour into a glass and enjoy while it’s cold and vibrant.
