- ground flaxseed 1 tsp
Method

Prepare Ingredients.
Wash the fresh spinach leaves thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt. If using fresh strawberries, rinse them well and remove the green stems. Measure out one scoop of whey protein powder, half a cup of strawberries, one cup of almond milk, and one teaspoon of ground flaxseed.
Tip: Using frozen strawberries can make your smoothie colder and thicker without needing ice. -
Add Ingredients to Blender.
Place the whey protein powder, fresh spinach, strawberries, almond milk, and ground flaxseed into your blender jar.
Tip: Add the liquid first to help the blending process start smoothly. -
Blend Until Smooth.
Secure the blender lid tightly. Blend the mixture on high speed for about 30 to 60 seconds, or until the smoothie is completely smooth and creamy with no visible chunks of spinach or strawberry.
Tip: If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more almond milk and blend again to reach your desired consistency. -
Serve and Enjoy.
Pour the smoothie into a tall glass. You can enjoy it immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Tip: For an extra touch, garnish with a strawberry slice or a few spinach leaves on top.
Pro tips
- Use cold or frozen strawberries to keep the smoothie chilled without diluting the flavor with ice.
- If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, add a small amount of natural sweetener like honey or maple syrup, but keep in mind this will change the nutrition values.
