The Ugly Green Smoothie
Cook Time: 5 mins
Servings: 1
All the health accolade is given to bright, vibrant green smoothies but the truth is that many healthy smoothie recipes kind of look like mud!
Ingredients
- 1 cup packed spinach or kale
- ½ frozen banana
- ½ cup frozen or fresh blueberries
- 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
- 2 teaspoons chia seeds
- pinch cinnamon
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or ½ cup almond milk & ½ cup water
- Optional add ins: 1 tablespoon nut butter ½ peeled kiwi, 1 clementine, 1 teaspoon matcha, ½ teaspoon spirulina, handful fresh basil
Instructions
- Add all ingredients in order listed to a blender and blend on high until smooth. I've listed some optional add-ins that you can use to switch up this recipe and change the flavour (choose one, not all!). These are some things I add to mix it up a little.
Notes
Turn this smoothie into an overnight oat smoothie bowl by making it in the evening and modifying the recipe; Reduce the liquid to ½ cup and mix it with 1/3 cup rolled oats and leave it in the fridge overnight. If you like it a little sweeter, use a full frozen banana.
