Ingredients
Liquid Base
- 1 cup milk (dairy or dairy-free)
- ½ cup plain yogurt (dairy or dairy-free)
Fruits and Vegetables
- 2 kiwifruit (skin removed)
- ½ medium banana
- 1 cup baby spinach
Add-ins
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
Instructions
- Blend Ingredients: Add the milk, plain yogurt, baby spinach, peeled kiwifruit, and half a banana to a high-powered blender. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Incorporate Chia Seeds: Pour the smoothie into a glass or Mason jar. If using a glass, stir the chia seeds into the smoothie directly. If using a Mason jar, add the chia seeds, secure the lid tightly, and shake vigorously until well combined.
- Let Chia Seeds Gel: Allow the smoothie to sit for 3 to 5 minutes so the chia seeds can absorb liquid and form a gel-like texture. Before drinking, stir or shake again to evenly distribute the chia seeds.
Notes
- This smoothie can be made with dairy or dairy-free milk and yogurt to suit dietary preferences.
- For a colder smoothie, use chilled ingredients or add a few ice cubes before blending.
- Allowing chia seeds to gel improves texture and digestion benefits.
- This recipe is best consumed fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours.
