Blueberry Spinach Power Smoothie
A Smoothie That Feels Like Self-Care
Ever feel like you need a reset in a glass? That’s exactly what this Blueberry Spinach Power Smoothie delivers. It’s the kind of recipe I turn to when I need a clean energy boost, whether it’s after a workout, during a midday slump, or first thing in the morning when coffee just isn’t cutting it. With antioxidant-rich blueberries, leafy green spinach, and protein-packed almond butter, it’s both nourishing and delicious—and takes just five minutes to make.
What You’ll Need
1/2 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
1 handful spinach
1/2 banana
1 tbsp almond butter
3/4 cup almond milk (or your favorite milk alternative)
How to Make a Blueberry Spinach Power Smoothie
1. Prep the Ingredients
Give your spinach and blueberries a quick rinse if using fresh. Peel the banana and break it into chunks—it helps the blender do its job.
2. Blend Everything Together
Add the blueberries, spinach, banana, almond butter, and almond milk to your blender. Blend on high until smooth and creamy. If it’s too thick, just splash in more almond milk until it’s perfect for sipping or spooning.
Pour into your favorite smoothie glass or mason jar. Top with chia seeds, hemp hearts, or a little granola for extra crunch and nutrients. Then sip and feel good knowing your body’s getting a power-packed punch of plants!
Tips, Add-Ons & Variations
Toss in a few frozen cauliflower florets for extra creaminess and fiber.
Swap almond butter for peanut butter or sunflower seed butter.
Add a scoop of protein powder for a post-workout boost.
Include a few ice cubes if you like it extra chilled.
Sub spinach with kale or a mix of baby greens if preferred.
