Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh spinach
- 1 cup strawberries
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1 tablespoon flaxseed
Instructions
- Wash the fresh spinach leaves thoroughly under cool running water to remove any dirt or debris.
- Hull and rinse the strawberries, removing any stems or leaves. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel.
- Add the fresh spinach leaves to the blender first, which helps create a smoother blend and prevents leafy chunks.
- Add the washed strawberries to the blender on top of the spinach leaves.
- Measure and pour the almond milk into the blender, ensuring it covers the fruits and greens.
- Sprinkle the tablespoon of flaxseed into the blender for added nutrition and texture.
- Secure the blender lid tightly and blend on high speed for 45-60 seconds until the mixture is smooth and uniformly green.
- Stop the blender and scrape down the sides with a spatula if any ingredients are stuck to the walls.
- Blend again for an additional 15-20 seconds to ensure a completely smooth consistency.
- Pour the smoothie into two glasses, dividing equally.
- Optional: Garnish with a fresh strawberry or a sprinkle of flaxseed on top for presentation.
- Serve immediately for the best flavor and nutritional value.
Tips
- Always add liquid ingredients first to help the blending process and prevent ingredients from sticking to the bottom of the blender.
- Use frozen strawberries for a thicker, more chilled smoothie if you prefer.
- For maximum nutrition, use organic spinach and strawberries when possible.
- If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more almond milk to achieve your desired consistency.
- Clean your blender immediately after use to prevent ingredient residue from hardening.
- For an extra protein boost, consider adding a scoop of your favorite protein powder.
- Experiment with the ratio of ingredients to find your perfect flavor balance.
- Invest in a high-powered blender for the smoothest possible texture.
