Ingredients
  

For the Smoothie
  • 1 cup frozen blueberries
  • 0.5 medium ripe avocado peeled and pitted
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup or to taste
  • 0.5 cup fresh spinach packed
  • 0.5 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 pinch pinch of salt

Equipment

  • High-Speed Blender

Method
 

Prepare Ingredients
  1. First, pour the unsweetened almond milk into your high-speed blender. This helps the blades catch and blend everything smoothly.
  2. Next, add the frozen blueberries, peeled and pitted avocado half, maple syrup, packed fresh spinach, vanilla extract, fresh lemon juice, chia seeds, and a pinch of salt to the blender.
  3. Secure the lid and blend on high speed for 30-60 seconds, or until the smoothie is completely smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides if necessary to ensure all ingredients are incorporated.
  4. If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash more almond milk (1-2 tablespoons at a time) and blend again. Taste and add more maple syrup or a squeeze of lemon if desired.
  5. Pour the smoothie into a glass and enjoy right away for the best taste and texture.

Notes

Make it your own: Feel free to swap out almond milk for coconut water, dairy milk, or another plant-based milk. For an extra protein boost, add a scoop of your favorite protein powder. You can also toss in a handful of ice cubes if your blueberries aren't fully frozen or you prefer a colder, thicker drink.
Prep ahead tip: If you're short on time in the mornings, you can portion out all the dry ingredients (blueberries, spinach, avocado, chia seeds) into a freezer-safe bag the night before. In the morning, just dump the bag into your blender, add the liquid ingredients, and blend!
Storage: This smoothie is best enjoyed fresh, as the avocado can oxidize and change color over time. If you do have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Give it a good shake or re-blend briefly before drinking.
