Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup spinach
- 1/2 avocado
- 1 banana
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- Ice cubes
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all the ingredients needed for the Super Green Detox Smoothie. Ensure you have 1 cup of fresh spinach, 1/2 ripe avocado, 1 banana, 1 cup of almond milk, 1 tablespoon of chia seeds, and a handful of ice cubes.
- Wash the spinach thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt or impurities. Once clean, gently pat the spinach dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel.
- Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh using a spoon. Place the avocado flesh in the blender.
- Peel the banana and break it into smaller pieces. Add the banana pieces to the blender along with the avocado.
- Pour 1 cup of almond milk into the blender. This will serve as the liquid base for your smoothie and help blend the ingredients smoothly.
- Add 1 tablespoon of chia seeds to the blender. Chia seeds are packed with nutrients and will help thicken the smoothie while adding a boost of fiber.
- Finally, add a handful of ice cubes to the blender. This will chill the smoothie and give it a refreshing texture.
- Secure the lid on the blender tightly and blend on high speed until all the ingredients are well combined and the mixture is smooth. This should take about 30-60 seconds.
- Once blended, check the consistency of the smoothie. If it is too thick, you can add a little more almond milk and blend again until you reach your desired consistency.
- Pour the smoothie into two glasses, dividing it evenly. You can garnish with a sprinkle of chia seeds on top or a slice of banana for an extra touch.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Super Green Detox Smoothie, packed with nutrients and perfect for a healthy boost!
Tips
- Choose Fresh Ingredients: For the best flavor and nutrition, opt for fresh spinach and a ripe avocado. The ripeness of the avocado will contribute to the creaminess of your smoothie.
- Customize Your Sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, consider adding a drizzle of honey or a few pitted dates along with the banana.
- Experiment with Add-Ins: Feel free to add other superfoods like protein powder, a scoop of nut butter, or a handful of berries to enhance the nutritional profile and flavor.
- Adjust Consistency: If you find the smoothie too thick, simply add a splash more of almond milk until you reach your desired consistency.
- Chill for Extra Refreshment: For an even cooler drink, freeze the banana ahead of time. This adds a creamy texture and makes your smoothie extra refreshing.
- Garnish Creatively: Elevate your smoothie presentation by garnishing with additional chia seeds, a slice of banana, or a sprinkle of hemp seeds on top before serving.
- Blend Thoroughly: Make sure to blend the smoothie until it’s completely smooth for the best texture. If your blender struggles, stop and stir the ingredients before blending again. Enjoy crafting your Super Green Detox Smoothie, and let each sip take you closer to a healthier you!
