1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any plant milk of your choice)
1/2 cup Greek yogurt or a dairy-free alternative for a vegan option
Honey or agave syrup to taste (optional)
Ice cubes (optional, if you prefer a colder smoothie)
Edible flowers and thin slices of lime or lemon for garnish
Instructions:
Blend the Base:
In a high-powered blender, combine the avocado, spinach, banana, chia seeds, almond milk, and Greek yogurt. If you like your smoothie a little sweeter, add honey or agave syrup to taste.
Adjust Consistency:
Blend until smooth. If the mixture is too thick for your liking, add more almond milk to reach the desired consistency. If you didn’t use a frozen banana and want your smoothie colder, add a few ice cubes and blend again.
Garnish:
Pour the smoothie into a tall glass. Sprinkle additional chia seeds on top for an extra nutrient boost.
Decorate:
Decorate with edible flowers and citrus slices for a beautiful and appealing presentation.
Serve:
Serve immediately while fresh and enjoy!
This smoothie isn’t just a treat for the eyes; it’s packed with vitamins, fiber, and healthy fats. The avocado provides creaminess as well as heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, the spinach offers iron and other minerals, and the chia seeds add a good dose of omega-3 fatty acids. It's a perfect start to the day or a refreshing pick-me-up in the afternoon!
