Ingredients
- 1 cup (fresh or frozen) Mixed Berries
- 1/2 cup (plain or vanilla) Greek Yogurt

Ingredient Prep

Blending Process
Add all ingredients into a blender. Start with the liquid (almond milk), then add the Greek yogurt, berries, protein powder, spinach (if using), and flax seeds (if using).
Achieving the Right Consistency
Blend until smooth and creamy. If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash more almond milk. If it's too thin, add a few more berries or a small amount of ice.

FAQ
-
Can I use other types of berries?

I don't have Greek yogurt. What can I use instead?
You can substitute Greek yogurt with regular yogurt, kefir, or even silken tofu for a dairy-free option. Note that the texture and tanginess may vary slightly. -
Is it necessary to add spinach?
