A quick and easy smoothie packed with vitamins, antioxidants, and hydrating ingredients to naturally boost skin glow and clarity.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ ripe avocado
  • 1 medium ripe banana
  • ½ cup mixed berries (blueberries, strawberries, or raspberries), fresh or frozen
  • 1 cup fresh spinach
  • ¾ cup (180 ml) coconut water (or filtered water/unsweetened almond milk as substitute)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon raw honey or maple syrup (optional)

Instructions

  1. Slice half a ripe avocado and peel a medium banana. Freeze the banana for at least 2 hours beforehand if you want a chilled smoothie.
  2. Add avocado and banana to the blender and blend for about 30 seconds to create a smooth, creamy base.
  3. Add 1 cup fresh spinach and ½ cup mixed berries to the blender. Blend for 30-45 seconds until fully pureed and color turns purple-pink.
  4. Pour in ¾ cup coconut water and 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice. Blend for another 15 seconds to combine.
  5. Add 1 tablespoon chia seeds and, if desired, 1 teaspoon raw honey or maple syrup. Pulse the blender a few times to incorporate without over-blending the chia seeds.
  6. Let the smoothie sit for about 5 minutes to allow chia seeds to soften and thicken the texture. Add more coconut water or almond milk if too thick.
  7. Pour into a glass, garnish with fresh berries or chia seeds if desired, and enjoy.

Notes

Freeze the banana beforehand for a thicker, frosty texture. Add chia seeds at the end and pulse briefly to avoid a gloopy texture. Use ripe fruits for natural sweetness. Substitute coconut water with almond or oat milk for a creamier smoothie but note hydration changes. Let smoothie sit 5 minutes after blending for chia seeds to soften. Store leftovers in fridge up to 24 hours and shake before drinking.
