Prepare Ingredients.
Peel the banana and wash the fresh spinach thoroughly. Measure out the whey protein powder, almond milk, and chia seeds.
Tip: Use ripe bananas for a naturally sweeter smoothie without added sugar. -
Blend the Smoothie.
Add the banana, fresh spinach, whey protein powder, and unsweetened almond milk into a blender. Blend on high speed until smooth and creamy. If the mixture is too thick, add a little more almond milk to reach your desired consistency.
Tip: Start blending on low speed and gradually increase to high to avoid splashing. -
Serve and Garnish.
Pour the smoothie into a bowl. Sprinkle the tablespoon of chia seeds evenly on top for texture and extra nutrition.
Tip: Let the chia seeds sit for a minute to slightly absorb moisture and soften, enhancing texture.
Pro tips
- Use frozen banana slices to make the smoothie bowl colder and thicker without adding ice.
- Add a few ice cubes while blending if you prefer a colder and more refreshing texture.
