Ingredients

Liquid Base

  • 2 cups milk of choice (unsweetened almond milk recommended)

Produce

  • 2 cups baby spinach
  • 2 large kiwis (ripe, skin-on if desired)
  • 1 cup mango (fresh or frozen)
  • 1/2 banana (fresh or frozen)
  • 1/4 cup avocado chunks (fresh or frozen)
  • 1/2 lime, juice only

Dairy & Seeds

  • 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 Tbsp chia seeds

Flavoring

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Optional

  • Unflavoured or vanilla protein powder
  • Ice cubes (if not using frozen ingredients)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients including milk, baby spinach, kiwis, mango, banana, avocado, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, vanilla extract, and lime juice. If using frozen fruits, ensure they are slightly thawed.
  2. Add to Blender: Pour the milk into a high-speed blender followed by baby spinach, kiwis, mango, banana, avocado, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, vanilla extract, and lime juice. Add optional protein powder and ice cubes if desired for extra nutrition and chill.
  3. Blend: Blend all ingredients on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy. You can stop and scrape down the sides of the blender if necessary to ensure even blending.
  4. Adjust Consistency and Flavor: Check the smoothie’s consistency and taste. Add more milk if it’s too thick or add a bit more lime juice or vanilla extract to enhance flavor. Blend again briefly if adjustments are made.
  5. Serve: Pour the smoothie into glasses and enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Using skin-on kiwis adds extra fiber and nutrients but peel if preferred for smoother texture.
  • Frozen fruits can be used instead of fresh to chill the smoothie without adding ice cubes.
  • Chia seeds provide omega-3 fatty acids and help thicken the smoothie.
  • Substitute the milk with any preferred type, such as cow’s milk, coconut milk, or oat milk, according to dietary needs.
  • For a vegan version, use a plant-based yogurt alternative instead of Greek yogurt.
