Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 3/4 cup milk (any kind)
  • 1/2 cup frozen raspberries
  • 1 cup spinach leaves (may reduce to 3/4 or 1/2 cup)
  • 1/2 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
  • 1 TBS honey or maple syrup (optional, up to 2 tablespoons or to taste)

Instructions

  • Add all ingredients to a tall blending cup or container.
  • Use an immersion blender to blend until smooth.
  • Add additional milk if needed to reach your preferred consistency.
  • Serve immediately.
Notes
  • This is a fairly spinach-heavy smoothie because that’s personally how I like it, but it’s very flexible. If you’re newer to green smoothies or just want a stronger raspberry flavor, you can easily reduce the spinach to 3/4 cup or even 1/2 cup instead.
  • If your smoothie feels too thick, add a splash more milk. Different types of yogurt can have different consistencies.
  • If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, increase the honey, maple syrup, or even add half a banana.
  • Blend the spinach with the milk first if your blender struggles with leafy bits.
  • I always use and recommend frozen raspberries for the best results. Fresh raspberries work too, but the smoothie won’t be as cold or as thick. Plus I personally think frozen raspberries are more tangy and flavorful (for whatever reason).
  • If the chia seeds sit too long, the smoothie will thicken up quite a bit. Which is normal, just very chia-seed behavior. If you don’t love them, feel free to decrease the amount or leave them out completley.
