Equipment
- Mixing Bowl
- Blender
Ingredients
- 1 cup Frozen Strawberries
- 1/2 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
- 1 cup Frozen Blueberries
- 1 large Frozen Banana
- 1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1 cup Ice
- 1/4 cup Sugar-Free Hot Chocolate Mix
- 2 tablespoons Brewed Coffee or Espresso
- 1/2 cup Baby Spinach
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients. Make sure you have frozen strawberries, frozen blueberries, frozen banana, unsweetened almond milk, and any optional ingredients you want to include, like spinach or hot chocolate mix.
- In your high-speed blender, add the frozen strawberries first. This will help create a base that blends smoothly.
- Next, add the frozen blueberries. They’ll add not only flavor but also a beautiful hue to your smoothie. Don't forget the frozen banana for creaminess!
- Pour in 1/2 cup of unsweetened almond milk. This will help everything blend nicely. You can always add more later if you want a thinner consistency.
- Now, if you’re feeling a little adventurous, toss in baby spinach for a nutrient kick. You won’t even taste it!
- Add your ice. This is key for that refreshing chill. Depending on how thick or thin you want it, adjust the quantity of ice.
- For some added flavor, sprinkle in cinnamon and if you choose, include the sugar-free hot chocolate mix and brewed coffee.
- Secure the lid on the blender and start blending. You’ll want to blend until all the ingredients are completely smooth and creamy. Pause to scrape down the sides if needed.
- Once your smoothie is perfectly blended, pour it into a tall glass. I love to enjoy mine immediately while it’s still frosty!
Notes
Tip 1: If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. However, they’re best enjoyed fresh!
Tip 2: You can freeze leftover smoothies in ice cube trays. Just pop them out and blend with a bit of almond milk for a quick treat!
Tip 3: These smoothies pair wonderfully with a light breakfast of oatmeal or whole-grain toast for a balanced meal.
Tip 4: Switch up your fruits based on the season, using peaches in summer or apples in fall for a change.
Tip 5: For a quicker morning routine, prepare your ingredients the night before. Just blend in the morning!
