Ingredients

Fruit and Vegetables

  • 2 cups frozen mixed berries
  • 1/2 of a ripe medium banana
  • 1/2 medium green apple
  • 1 baby cucumber (or 3-4 inch chunk of cucumber)
  • 1/2 cup Italian flat leaf parsley
  • 1 cup baby spinach or super greens
  • juice of 1/2 of a lemon

Seeds and Liquids

  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or coconut milk
  • extra water (if needed)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all fresh and frozen ingredients as listed and measure accordingly to ensure a balanced blend.
  2. Blend Smoothie: Place the frozen mixed berries, banana half, green apple half, baby cucumber, parsley, baby spinach, lemon juice, chia seeds, and almond or coconut milk into a high-speed blender.
  3. Process Until Smooth: Blend on high speed for 1-2 minutes until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If the smoothie is too thick, add small amounts of water and blend again to adjust to your desired consistency.
  4. Serve: Pour the smoothie into a glass and enjoy immediately for the freshest taste and maximum nutrient benefit.

Notes

  • Use frozen berries for a chilled, thick texture. Fresh berries can be used but may require more ice or refrigeration.
  • Adjust the quantity of water or plant-based milk to achieve preferred smoothness or thickness.
  • Parsley offers detox benefits but can be swapped with cilantro or kale depending on preference.
  • For extra protein, consider adding a scoop of plant-based protein powder.
  • Consume immediately to benefit from the maximum nutrient content and flavor freshness.
