Serves: 1 serving
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup cantaloupe chunks
- 1/2 banana
- 1/2 cup mixed berries
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 1/2 cup spinach (optional)
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1/2 cup of cantaloupe chunks, 1/2 banana, 1/2 cup of mixed berries, 1/2 cup of orange juice, and 1/2 cup of spinach (optional).
- If you haven't done so already, wash the mixed berries thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt or pesticides.
- Prepare the cantaloupe by cutting it into chunks if you haven't purchased pre-cut pieces. Ensure the chunks are bite-sized for easy blending.
- Peel the banana and break it into smaller pieces to make it easier to blend. This also helps in achieving a smoother texture.
- If you are using fresh spinach and want to include it in your smoothie, rinse it under cold water to remove any grit or dirt. If you prefer not to use spinach, you can skip this step.
- In a blender, combine the cantaloupe chunks, banana pieces, mixed berries, orange juice, and spinach (if using). Make sure to add the orange juice last to help with blending.
- Secure the lid on the blender and blend the mixture on high speed until it reaches a smooth and creamy consistency. This should take about 30 seconds to 1 minute, depending on your blender.
- If the smoothie is too thick for your liking, you can add a little more orange juice or some water to achieve your desired consistency. Blend again briefly to mix.
- Once blended to your satisfaction, pour the smoothie into a glass. You can use a straw or enjoy it as is!
- For an extra touch, consider garnishing with a few whole berries or a slice of banana on the rim of the glass.
- Enjoy your refreshing Smoothie Saturday Cantabananaberry Smoothie immediately for the best flavor and texture!
Tips
- Freeze your fruits beforehand for an extra thick and frosty smoothie texture without adding ice.
- Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and smoother blending.
- If you're adding spinach, blend it with the liquid first to ensure a completely smooth consistency.
- For a protein boost, consider adding a scoop of your favorite protein powder or a tablespoon of chia seeds.
- Always start blending at a low speed and gradually increase to high to prevent ingredient splatter.
- Clean your blender immediately after use to prevent ingredient residue from hardening.
- Experiment with different berry combinations to find your perfect mix!
