Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1.5 cup mixed frozen berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 1 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
- 0.75 cup unsweetened coconut water
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh spinach leaves packed
- 0.5 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp fresh lemon juice optional, for brightness
Notes
Storage: This smoothie is best enjoyed immediately. If you must store it, pour into an airtight jar, leaving minimal air space, seal, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Shake or stir vigorously before drinking as separation will occur. Make-Ahead: Pre-portion the frozen berries, spinach, chia seeds, and cinnamon into individual freezer-safe bags or containers for grab-and-go smoothie packs. In the morning, just add the yogurt and liquid to the blender. Variations: Substitute coconut water with unsweetened almond milk. For added sweetness without refined sugar, add 1-2 pitted Medjool dates or a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup. For a dairy-free version, use a plant-based yogurt.
