Description
This Fat-Burning Blueberry Green Smoothie is a refreshing and nutritious drink designed to support your health and fitness goals. Packed with antioxidants, fiber, and metabolism-boosting ingredients, this smoothie combines the sweetness of blueberries with the nutrient-dense power of greens.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup frozen blueberries
- 1 cup spinach or kale (fresh or frozen)
- 1/2 avocado (for healthy fats and creaminess)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (for fiber and omega-3s)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for metabolism support)
- 1/2 cup almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional, for added detoxifying effects)
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (optional, for extra protein and creaminess)
- Ice cubes (optional, for a colder texture)
Instructions
Start by adding the frozen blueberries, spinach or kale, avocado, chia seeds, ground cinnamon, and almond milk to your blender. If you’re adding Greek yogurt, lemon juice, or sweetener, toss those in as well.
- Blend on high for 30-45 seconds, or until all the ingredients are fully combined and the smoothie reaches a smooth consistency. If the smoothie is too thick, add more almond milk until you get your desired texture.
- Taste the smoothie and adjust the sweetness or flavor by adding a little more honey, maple syrup, or lemon juice. You can also add more cinnamon if you want a spicier flavor.
- Pour the smoothie into a glass, and enjoy immediately! You can also add a few extra ice cubes for a thicker texture or top it with extra chia seeds or berries.
Notes
- If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, add more honey or maple syrup, or try a ripe banana for natural sweetness.
- This smoothie can be customized by adding different greens, fruits, or superfoods like protein powder, spirulina, or flax seeds.
- If you’d like a thicker smoothie, reduce the amount of liquid or add more frozen ingredients like banana or mango.
- To make a smoothie bowl, use less liquid and top with granola, fresh fruit, or seeds for extra texture.
