INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, or any berries of your choice, fresh or frozen)
- 1 ripe banana
- 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla-flavored)
- 1 cup almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional, for added sweetness)
- Ice cubes (if using fresh berries)
INSTRUCTIONS
Wash the mixed berries and spinach leaves thoroughly.
In a blender, add the mixed berries, ripe banana, fresh spinach leaves, Greek yogurt, and almond milk.
Optionally, you can add a tablespoon of honey to sweeten the shake, especially if using tart berries.
If using fresh berries, you can add a few ice cubes to make the shake chilled.
Blend all the ingredients until the shake is smooth and creamy.
Taste the shake and adjust sweetness or thickness according to your preference. You can add more honey or yogurt to make it sweeter or thicker.
Once the shake is well blended, pour it into serving glasses.
Garnish the Triple Berry Spinach Shake with a few extra berries or a fresh spinach leaf on top.
Serve the shake immediately to enjoy its fresh flavors and nutritional benefits.
TIPS
You can use a combination of any berries you like. Strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries work well together, but feel free to experiment with other berry varieties.
To make the shake colder and thicker, use frozen berries instead of fresh ones.
Adjust the sweetness of the shake by adding honey or any other natural sweetener like maple syrup.
If you prefer a dairy-free version, use non-dairy yogurt and milk alternatives, such as coconut yogurt and almond milk.
For an extra boost of nutrition, you can add a handful of chia seeds, flaxseeds, or hemp seeds to the shake.
Consider adding a scoop of protein powder if you want to increase the protein content of the shake.
If you want a creamier texture, you can use frozen banana slices in the shake.
