Ingredients
- 1 banana
- 1 ripe pear, cored and chopped
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 cup spinach
- 1 cup almond milk
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 ripe banana, 1 ripe pear (cored and chopped), 1 tablespoon of chia seeds, 1 cup of fresh spinach, and 1 cup of almond milk.
- Peel the banana and break it into smaller pieces to make blending easier. Place the banana pieces into a blender.
- Take the ripe pear, remove the core, and chop it into smaller chunks. Add the chopped pear to the blender with the banana.
- Add 1 cup of fresh spinach to the blender. This will provide additional fiber and nutrients to your smoothie without altering the flavor significantly.
- Next, add 1 tablespoon of chia seeds to the mixture. Chia seeds are a great source of fiber and will help thicken the smoothie.
- Pour in 1 cup of almond milk. This will help to blend the ingredients smoothly and provide a creamy texture.
- Secure the lid on the blender and blend on high speed until all the ingredients are well combined and the mixture is smooth, usually about 30-60 seconds.
- If the smoothie is too thick for your liking, you can add a little more almond milk to reach your desired consistency and blend again.
- Once blended, taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness if necessary. You can add a little honey or maple syrup if you prefer it sweeter.
- Pour the smoothie into two glasses, and enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Tips
- Always use ripe fruits for maximum natural sweetness and easier blending
- Add ingredients in layers: liquids first, then soft fruits, then greens and seeds for smoother blending
- For an extra cold smoothie, freeze your banana or pear beforehand
- If you want a thicker consistency, use less almond milk or add a few ice cubes
- Clean your blender immediately after use to prevent ingredient residue from hardening
- Experiment with optional add-ins like a dash of cinnamon or a scoop of protein powder for variety
- For meal prep, you can prep ingredient bags and freeze them for quick morning smoothies
