Ingredients
- 1 cup spinach
- 1 banana
- 1/2 avocado
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 cup coconut water
- 1 tablespoon honey
Instructions
- Wash the spinach leaves thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt or debris. Pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
- Peel the ripe banana and cut it into chunks for easier blending. Remove the skin and pit from the avocado, then scoop out the flesh.
- Add the spinach leaves, banana chunks, avocado, and chia seeds to a high-powered blender.
- Pour the coconut water into the blender, ensuring all ingredients are well-covered.
- Drizzle the honey over the other ingredients to add natural sweetness and additional nutrients.
- Secure the blender lid tightly and blend on high speed for 45-60 seconds until the mixture is smooth and creamy with no visible chunks.
- If the smoothie seems too thick, add a little more coconut water and blend again briefly to reach desired consistency.
- Taste and adjust sweetness by adding more honey if desired.
- Pour the smoothie into two glasses, dividing equally.
- Optional: Garnish with a sprinkle of chia seeds or a small spinach leaf on top for presentation.
- Serve immediately to enjoy maximum nutritional benefits and freshest taste.
Tips
- Choose Ripe Ingredients: For the best flavor and creaminess, make sure your banana and avocado are perfectly ripe. This will enhance the smoothie’s texture and taste.
- Customize Your Sweetness: Feel free to adjust the amount of honey based on your personal preference. If you prefer a less sweet smoothie, start with a smaller amount and add more if needed.
- Add More Greens: If you're feeling adventurous, throw in a handful of kale or some fresh mint for an extra nutritional boost and a refreshing twist.
- Blend Thoroughly: Ensure your blender is powerful enough to create a smooth consistency. Blend for at least 45-60 seconds, and don't hesitate to add more coconut water if it gets too thick.
- Serve Fresh: For the best taste and nutritional benefits, enjoy your smoothie immediately after blending. If you need to store it, keep it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours, but consume it as soon as possible.
- Garnish for Presentation: A sprinkle of chia seeds or a small spinach leaf on top of your smoothie can make it look even more appealing and Instagram-worthy!
