- 1 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries - fresh or frozen)
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any other plant-based milk)
- 1/2 cup (unsweetened, low-fat for a creamier texture)
- A handful of spinach leaves (optional, for added nutrients)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (for flavor)
- Ice cubes (optional, for a colder smoothie)
- Stevia or monk fruit sweetener to taste (optional, for those who prefer a sweeter taste without adding sugar)
- Prep the Chia Seeds
In a small bowl, mix the chia seeds with 3 tablespoons of water. Let them sit for about 10 minutes until they become gel-like. This step is optional but helps to create a smoother texture in the smoothie.
- Blend the Smoothie
In a blender, combine the soaked chia seeds, mixed berries, almond milk, Greek yogurt, spinach leaves (if using), vanilla extract, and ice cubes (if desired). Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If the smoothie is too thick, you can add a little more almond milk to reach your desired consistency.
- Sweeten if Desired
Taste the smoothie, and if you find it needs a bit more sweetness, add a small amount of Stevia or monk fruit sweetener. Blend again briefly to mix.
- Serve Immediately
Pour the smoothie into a glass and enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture.
