Equipment

  • Blender

Ingredients

  • 1 ripe avocado peeled and pitted
  • 2 tablespoons of chia pearls
  • 2 icy bananas frozen
  • 4 handfuls of baby spinach
  • 1.5 to 2 cups of unsweetened almond elixir adjust for desired consistency
  • 2-4 teaspoons of freshly squeezed citrus nectar

Instructions

  • Peel and pit the ripe avocado.
  • Freeze the bananas in advance, ensuring they're adequately frozen.
  • Measure out the baby spinach, almond milk, chia seeds, and citrus juice.
  • In a blender, add the ripe avocado, frozen bananas, baby spinach, and chia seeds.
  • Pour 1.5 to 2 cups of unsweetened almond milk into the blender. Adjust the quantity based on how thick or thin you prefer your smoothie.
  • Add 2-4 teaspoons of freshly squeezed citrus juice into the blender. This helps balance the flavors and adds a tangy twist.
  • Secure the lid on the blender and blend all the ingredients until smooth and creamy. This usually takes 1-2 minutes, depending on the blender's power.
  • Pause the blender and check the consistency. If it's too thick, add a bit more almond milk. If it's too thin, you can add a few ice cubes or more frozen banana for thickness.
  • Taste the smoothie and adjust the flavor to your liking. You can add more citrus juice if you want it tangier or a touch of honey or a date if you prefer it sweeter (though for weight loss, it's best to keep added sweeteners minimal).
  • Pour the smoothie into glasses and serve immediately. Optionally, you can sprinkle a few chia seeds on top for added texture and nutrients.

Notes

  • Use a ripe avocado for the best flavor.
  • Add other ingredients to make the smoothie more filling. For example, you can add Greek yogurt, chia seeds, or ground flaxseed.
  • Use almond milk instead of dairy milk to reduce the calories and make the smoothie vegan-friendly.
  • Use honey instead of sugar for a natural sweetener.
  • Experiment with different fruits to find the flavor you like best.
  • Add a few ice cubes to make the smoothie colder and more refreshing.
