1-First, gather and rinse all fresh ingredients, including the spinach, to ensure they’re clean and ready.

2-Next, measure out the spinach, strawberries, banana, almond milk, and chia seeds according to the recipe. As a fan of quick recipes, I always prep my fruits in advance to save time.

3-Detailed Directions for Blending: Place all ingredients in a high-powered blender in this order: spinach, banana, strawberries, pineapple, almond milk, and chia seeds. Blend until smooth for a thinner consistency, add more almond milk; for a thicker one, toss in some ice. If you’re using a regular blender, puree the spinach and almond milk first, then gradually add the frozen ingredients to avoid any lumps.

4-Once blended, taste and adjust as needed; I sometimes add a touch of extra fruit for sweetness. Pour into a glass and serve immediately to enjoy the best flavor and nutritional value. For me, this step makes it feel like a fresh start to the day, especially when I’m experimenting with healthy eats.
