You’re instantly a smoothie pro with this recipe
This versatile "Everything in the Blender" smoothie elevates your game in the kitchen to provide you with an effective nutrition boost, but also gives you a measure of flexibility (what’s in your fridge right now?). Start with a packed cup of your favorite greens, whether it’s chard, spinach, kale, or any leafy greens you love. Add a burst of sweetness and tang with frozen berries or pineapple, and balance it with the crisp freshness of diced apple and sliced celery. A splash of coconut water keeps it hydrating and light, while a scoop of your chosen protein powder adds a satisfying boost. For an extra nutritional punch, mix in flax seeds and chia seeds. This adaptable recipe invites creativity, so feel free to swap ingredients or add more of your favorites for a personalized, nutrient-packed smoothie.
