These healthy brunch smoothies are quick, easy, and packed with nutrients to support weight loss while keeping you full and energized until lunch.

Ingredients

  • Spinach or kale (fresh or frozen)
  • Bananas (ripe, mashed)
  • Frozen mixed berries
  • Mango chunks (frozen or fresh)
  • Green apple slices
  • Greek yogurt (plain, full-fat or low-fat)
  • Cottage cheese (small-curd)
  • Plant-based protein powder (pea or rice-based)
  • Chia seeds or flaxseeds (ground)
  • Almond butter (smooth)
  • Avocado (optional)
  • Unsweetened almond milk
  • Coconut water
  • Plain water
  • Fresh ginger (grated, optional)
  • Lemon juice
  • Cinnamon
  • Honey or maple syrup (optional)

Instructions

  1. Wash the leafy greens thoroughly. Peel and slice the banana and any fresh fruits you’re using. Grate fresh ginger if desired.
  2. Pour your chosen liquid (1 cup almond milk) into the blender first. Add 1 cup spinach. Blend on medium speed for about 20 seconds until greens start to break down.
  3. Add 1 banana, ½ cup frozen mixed berries, and ½ cup Greek yogurt. Blend on high for 30-45 seconds until smooth and creamy with no visible chunks.
  4. Add 1 tablespoon chia seeds, 1 teaspoon honey, and juice of ½ lemon. Blend for another 10-15 seconds to combine evenly.
  5. Check consistency and adjust: if too thick, add more almond milk or water; if too thin, add ice cubes or frozen fruit chunks and blend again.
  6. Pour into a glass. Garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or fresh berries if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

Start blending liquids and greens first to avoid blender overload. Grind or soak chia seeds for better texture. Adjust sweetness with natural fruit or small amounts of honey/maple syrup. Consume fresh for best flavor and nutrition. Store leftovers in airtight container in fridge up to 24 hours; shake before drinking.
