Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup water
  • 2 cups (packed) baby spinach
  • 1 ½ cups frozen mixed berries
  • ½ banana
  • 1 tablespoon ground flaxseeds
  • Optional: protein powder (quantity as desired)

Instructions

  1. Blend it up. Add the water, baby spinach, frozen mixed berries, banana, and protein powder (if using) to a high-powered blender. Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and the color turns a distinctive brown shade.
  2. Add flaxseeds. Pour the smoothie into a large glass or a Mason jar. Add the ground flaxseeds on top and stir well or close the jar and shake until the flaxseeds are fully incorporated. Insert a straw and enjoy your wholesome brown smoothie!

Notes

  • Using a high-powered blender ensures a smooth texture and even mixing of ingredients.
  • Frozen berries eliminate the need for ice and help keep the smoothie cold.
  • Protein powder is optional and can be added to increase the protein content based on preference.
  • Ground flaxseeds add fiber and healthy fats but can be added after blending to retain texture.
  • This smoothie is best enjoyed fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours for convenience.
