Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (150g) frozen blueberries
  • 1 cup (30g) fresh baby spinach, packed
  • 1 scoop (30g) vanilla protein powder
  • ½ cup (120g) plain Greek yogurt
  • ½ cup (120ml) unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 tablespoon (15g) chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • ¼ cup (30g) granola or nuts for topping

Instructions

  1. Measure 1 cup frozen blueberries and 1 cup fresh baby spinach.
  2. Gather 1 scoop vanilla protein powder, ½ cup plain Greek yogurt, ½ cup almond milk, 1 tablespoon chia seeds, and optional 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup.
  3. Start by layering almond milk and Greek yogurt at the bottom of the blender.
  4. Add the fresh spinach on top of the liquids.
  5. Pour in the frozen blueberries next.
  6. Add the vanilla protein powder and chia seeds on top.
  7. Drizzle honey or maple syrup over if using.
  8. Blend on low speed, gradually increasing to high, for 45-60 seconds until smooth and creamy. Scrape down sides with a spatula if needed and blend briefly again.
  9. Check consistency; add more almond milk if too thick or more frozen berries/yogurt if too thin and pulse again.
  10. Pour smoothie into a wide bowl.
  11. Top with granola or chopped nuts, extra fresh blueberries, sliced banana, or coconut flakes as desired.
  12. Optional: Let chia seeds soak for 5 minutes after blending for a thicker texture.

Notes

Use frozen blueberries to keep the bowl chilled and thick without watering down flavor. Blend in stages starting with liquids and greens for smooth texture. Let chia seeds soak for thicker texture or sprinkle on top if gel-like texture is not preferred. Substitute dairy-free yogurt and plant-based protein powder for vegan option. Store leftovers in fridge up to 24 hours and stir in almond milk before eating. Avoid freezing after blending.
