Ingredients

  • Frozen mixed berries – any mix of strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, and/or blackberries
  • Plain Greek yogurt – nonfat is used in this recipe, but 2% or 5% will work too
  • Fresh Spinach
  • Homemade Superseed Blend – my simple homemade blend of hemp, chia, and flax seeds (I also love to use Basil Seeds)
  • Water – or milk of choice

Swaps & Additions

  • Basil Seeds or Chia Seeds – use instead of the Homemade Super Seed Blend
  • Kale – use instead of spinach or a combo of both.
  • Banana – if you prefer a sweeter smoothie, add 1/2 of a banana.
  • Cauliflower rice – added fiber with zero cauliflower taste.
  • Nut Butter – peanut butter, almond butter, etc. are a delicious addition and also boost the protein.
  • Milk – any type, use instead of water if desired for extra creaminess
  • Supplements – I love adding other supplements (creatine powder, liquid Vitamin D, collagen, etc.) to smoothies. It’s such an easy way to get more bang for your buck and usually doesn’t affect the taste.
