Ingredients

  • Whey protein powder 1 scoop (30g)
  • Spinach 1 cup
  • Mixed berries 1/2 cup
  • Almond milk (unsweetened) 1 cup
  • Chia seeds 1 tbsp

Method

  1. Prepare your ingredients. Gather all your ingredients: whey protein powder, spinach, mixed berries, almond milk, and chia seeds. If using fresh berries, rinse them under cold water and pat dry. If using frozen, no need to thaw.
    Tip: Using frozen berries makes your smoothie colder and thicker.
  2. Add liquids to blender. Pour 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk into your blender first. Adding liquids first helps the blender run more smoothly and prevents ingredients from sticking.
    Tip: If you want a thicker smoothie, reduce the almond milk slightly.
  3. Add spinach and berries. Add 1 cup of fresh spinach and 1/2 cup of mixed berries on top of the almond milk in the blender. This layering helps with blending evenly.
    Tip: Spinach has a mild taste and blends easily, so you can add more if you want extra greens.
  4. Add protein powder and chia seeds. Add 1 scoop (30g) of whey protein powder and 1 tablespoon of chia seeds to the blender. These add protein, fiber, and healthy fats to your smoothie.
    Tip: If you want to boost fiber further, you can add a teaspoon of ground flaxseed.
  5. Blend until smooth. Secure the blender lid and blend on high speed for about 30-60 seconds until all ingredients are fully combined and the smoothie is creamy and smooth. Stop and scrape down the sides if needed.
    Tip: If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more almond milk and blend again.
  6. Serve immediately. Pour your smoothie into a glass and enjoy right away for the best flavor and texture. You can also add ice cubes before blending if you like it extra cold.
    Tip: Garnish with a few fresh berries or a sprinkle of chia seeds for a nice presentation.

Pro tips

  • Use frozen berries to make the smoothie colder and thicker without adding ice.
  • Add a small banana if you prefer a sweeter smoothie naturally.
  • Clean your blender immediately after use to prevent residue buildup.
