Instructions

Prepare the ingredients: Gather all the ingredients required including your choice of spinach or kale, banana, berries, almond milk, Greek yogurt, chia or flaxseeds, nut butter, and optional honey or maple syrup.
Add ingredients to blender: Place the spinach (or kale), banana, berries, almond milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, and nut butter into a blender. Drizzle honey or maple syrup if you prefer a sweeter smoothie.
Blend: Blend on high speed for 1-2 minutes until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If you like a colder or thicker smoothie, add a few ice cubes and blend again until desired consistency is reached.
Taste and adjust: Taste your smoothie and adjust the sweetness by adding more honey or maple syrup if necessary. If the smoothie is too thick, gradually add more almond milk to thin it out to your preferred texture.
Serve: Pour the smoothie into a glass and enjoy immediately to benefit from maximum freshness and nutrients.

Notes

This smoothie can be made vegan by substituting Greek yogurt with non-dairy yogurt.
For added fiber, opt for flaxseeds over chia seeds.
Use frozen fruits for a naturally thicker and colder smoothie without needing ice.
Adjust the nut butter type based on allergy preferences or taste.
Use unsweetened almond milk to keep the smoothie low in added sugars.
