Equipment

  • Blender

Ingredients
 

  • 1 medium Banana
  • 1 medium Lemon juiced (about 4 tablespoons)
  • 0.5 cup whole Strawberries
  • 0.5 cup Berries, any type (e.g. blackberries or blueberries)
  • 2 cups Baby spinach
  • 2 leaves Fresh mint to taste
  • 1 cup cold water or ice

Instructions
 

Prep the Liquid Base

  • For the best flavor and metabolism-friendly twist, use 1/2 cup cold water and 1/2 cup chilled, brewed green tea to equal the 1 cup liquid. If you are using ice instead, keep it cold and ready so the finished smoothie stays crisp.

Blend the Greens First

  • Pour your liquid base into the blender first, then add the 2 cups Baby spinach and the Fresh mint. This loading order helps the blades grab the greens right away, so you do not end up with leafy flecks stuck to the sides.
  • Blend until the mixture looks evenly green and lightly foamy, and the mint smells bright and fresh when you lift the lid.

Add Fruit, Chia, Then Puree Until Smooth

  • Add the Banana, Lemon juice, Strawberries, and mixed Berries, then add 1 tablespoon of chia seeds. The fruit should smell sweet and tangy, like a fruit stand on a summer morning.
  • Puree until the smoothie turns a vibrant, uniform green and pours in a thick ribbon. Give it a quick pause and scrape once if needed, then blend again until it feels creamy with no icy crunch.

Notes

2:1 Greens-to-Fruit Ratio: Maintain a healthy balance of 2 parts greens to 1 part fruit to manage sugar spikes and keep your metabolism steady.
Freeze Your Fruit: Freeze the banana and berries so the smoothie turns creamy without needing extra ice, keeping the flavor bold and the texture thick.
Add Healthy Fats: Incorporate healthy fats like a quarter of an avocado or hemp seeds for extra satiety if serving this smoothie as a full breakfast.
Storage Tips: Store in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours. A quick shake or a splash of cold water brings it back to a drinkable consistency if it thickens.
