Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt or dairy-free alternative
- 1/2 cup fresh spearmint leaves lightly packed
- 1/2 cup English cucumber roughly chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley leaves optional, for extra nutrients
- 1/2 cup ripe avocado peeled and pitted
- 1 cup frozen pineapple chunks or frozen mango
- 1 tbsp chia seeds or flax seeds
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice about 1/2 lemon
- 1 tsp fresh ginger peeled and grated
Notes
For best results, drink immediately. If you need to store it, pour into a sealed jar or bottle, refrigerate, and consume within 24 hours (it may separate slightly; just shake well before drinking). You can make a 'smoothie pack' by pre-portioning the spearmint, cucumber, parsley, avocado, and frozen fruit into a freezer bag for quicker morning prep. Substitute avocado with 1/2 a frozen banana for a different creamy texture. For a protein boost, add a scoop of unflavored or vanilla plant-based protein powder.
