Equipment
- blender I LOVE my Blendtec Designer Series Blender. We use it daily! It's great for smoothies, frozen cocktails, and even muffin and pancake batter.
- Smoothie Tumbler Fantastic for taking your homemade smoothies on the go!
Ingredients
- 1/2 c. unsweetened vanilla almond milk or your preferred dairy or plant based milk
- 1/2 c. plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 c. pineapple frozen
- 1/2 c. banana frozen (about 1/2 banana)
- 1/2 medium avocado
- 2 c. fresh spinach about 2 large handfuls
- 1 Tbsp. chia seeds
Instructions
- To a blender, add all ingredients. It is helpful to have the liquid go in first and the frozen items go in last. This give some viscosity to the blades of the blender, and the ingredients will blend more smoothly.
- Blend for 45-60 seconds on medium-high speed, or until the ingredients are fully blended and smooth.
- Pour into a glass and enjoy right away while cold.
Notes
Optional Ingredient: 1 scoop/serving of vanilla or unflavored protein powder to add extra protein. I use and love Orgain Vanilla Protein Powder for smoothies.
