Most smoothies leave me hungry an hour later, so I started loading this one with fiber. This high-fiber detox smoothie uses chia, greens, and fruit to actually keep me full until lunch.
Delicious and Nutritious Detox Smoothie
This smoothie is a perfect blend of healthy fats, fibers, and vitamins, making it an ideal choice for a quick breakfast or snack. The use of natural sweeteners and fresh produce ensures great flavor while being beneficial for your body.
Ingredients
- 1 cup spinach leaves, fresh or frozen
- 1 ripe banana, frozen
- 1/2 avocado
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or coconut water
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 1/2 cup ice cubes (optional for thickness)
Instructions
- Blend the Ingredients: In a blender, combine the spinach, banana, avocado, chia seeds, and almond milk. If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, add honey or maple syrup.
- Adjust for Consistency: Blend until smooth. If the smoothie is too thick, add a bit more almond milk until your desired consistency is reached.
- Add Ice: For a colder, thicker texture, add ice cubes and blend again until smooth.
- Serve: Pour the smoothie into a glass and enjoy immediately. You can top it with extra chia seeds or a slice of banana for presentation.
Let it sit five minutes so the chia gels and the texture thickens. Stir once more before you pour.
