- 2 Cups Spinach (roughly 58g)
- 1 Frozen Banana
- 1 Apple cored and chopped
- 1 Kiwi peeled and chopped
- 1 Handful Blueberries (roughly 35g)
- 1 tablespoon Chia Seeds
- ½ Cup (125ml) Milk of choice
- The order you add your ingredients can make a difference to how easily your smoothie will blend. You want the liquid and easier-to-blend fruit at the bottom, nearest the blade. In some blenders, this will involve you adding them first and in others (where you have to screw on a lid with a blade and flip), you will have to add them last.
- Using frozen banana gives the smoothie a lovely thick and creamy texture.
- You can replace the apple, kiwi and blueberry with around 1.5 cups of chopped fruit (of choice). Fresh or frozen will work.
- You can use milk of choice, dairy and dairy-free milk both work.
- Chia seeds are added for extra nutrition. You can miss out or replace with flaxseed, nut butter, hemp seed, nuts or oats.
