A quick and easy detox smoothie blending antioxidant-rich blueberries, nutrient-dense spinach, creamy banana, and almond milk for a refreshing, filling, and naturally sweet morning boost.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (150g) fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1 cup packed (about 30g) fresh spinach leaves
  • 1 medium ripe banana
  • 1 cup (240ml) unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon raw honey or maple syrup (optional)

Instructions

  1. Rinse the fresh spinach leaves thoroughly to remove any grit. If using fresh blueberries, rinse and pat dry. Peel the banana and slice into chunks.
  2. Pour 1 cup (240ml) of unsweetened almond milk into the blender.
  3. Add 1 cup (about 30g) packed fresh spinach, 1 cup (150g) blueberries, and banana pieces to the blender.
  4. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon chia seeds and 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice on top.
  5. Blend on high for 45-60 seconds until smooth and silky, scraping down the sides once or twice if needed.
  6. Taste and add 1 teaspoon raw honey or maple syrup if additional sweetness is desired; blend for another 10 seconds.
  7. Pour into a glass and serve immediately. Optionally, add ice cubes before blending or use frozen fruit for a chilled smoothie.

Notes

Add liquids first to help blending. Blend spinach and liquids first for 20 seconds before adding fruits and seeds for smoother texture. Soak chia seeds for 5 minutes for thicker smoothie or add dry for quicker prep. Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness. Adjust thickness with more almond milk or banana as needed. Store in airtight container up to 24 hours; shake before drinking.
