Why this smoothie works

• Blueberries bring antioxidants and natural sweetness.
• Spinach adds vitamin K, iron, and a subtle green boost without overpowering flavor.
• A banana or plain yogurt provides texture and a dose of potassium and protein.
• Optional add-ins (chia, flax, protein powder) let you adapt the drink for workout recovery, a quick snack, or a breakfast replacement.

Ingredients

• 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
• 1 cup fresh spinach (packed)
• 1 ripe banana (fresh or frozen)
• 1/2 to 1 cup plain yogurt or milk (dairy or plant-based)
• 1/2 cup ice (omit if using frozen fruit)
• 1 tsp honey or maple syrup (optional)
  Pro tip: Serve in colorful bowls or glasses to make the smoothie feel special — consider a decorative piece like the Flowers and Birds collection for a pretty breakfast presentation.

Simple blending instructions

1. Add liquids to the blender first (yogurt/milk), then fruit, spinach, and ice.
2. Blend on high until completely smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides if needed.
3. Taste and adjust: add more liquid to thin, or a touch of sweetener if you prefer it sweeter.
4. Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Tips and tasty variations

• Protein boost: Add a scoop of your favorite protein powder or 1 tbsp of nut butter.
• Creamier texture: Use frozen banana or a dollop of Greek yogurt.
• Kid-friendly: Make a fun frozen pop by pouring the smoothie into molds. For a full morning of simple family activities, pairing the snack with a self-care moment can be lovely—try a calming scrub recipe after kitchen clean-up such as these 5 easy Christmas sugar scrub recipes (adapt the scent for all seasons).
