Ingredients
Liquid Base
- 1 cup milk (dairy or dairy-free)
- ½ cup plain yogurt (dairy or dairy-free)
Fruits and Vegetables
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 2 kiwifruit (skin removed)
- ½ medium banana
Additional Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
Instructions
- Blend together: Add the milk, yogurt, baby spinach, kiwifruit (skin removed), and banana into a high-powered blender. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring all ingredients are fully combined.
- Stir in chia seeds: Pour the smoothie into a glass or Mason jar. If using a glass, stir in the chia seeds thoroughly. If using a Mason jar, add the chia seeds, secure the lid tightly, and shake well until the chia seeds are evenly distributed. Let the smoothie sit for 3 to 5 minutes to allow the chia seeds to absorb liquid and gel. Before drinking, stir or shake the smoothie again to evenly mix the chia gel for optimal texture and nutrition.
Notes
- You can use dairy or dairy-free alternatives for milk and yogurt according to your preference or dietary needs.
- Removing the kiwi skin improves texture and taste, but kiwi skin is edible and nutrient-rich if you prefer.
- Letting the chia seeds sit in the smoothie helps them expand and adds a thicker, gel-like texture.
- This smoothie is best enjoyed fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours.
- Feel free to add a natural sweetener like honey or maple syrup if you prefer a sweeter taste.
