- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- ½ cup fresh spinach
- 3-4 ice cubes
Instructions
- Brew green tea and allow it to cool completely.
- Add the green tea, berries, banana, almond milk, and chia seeds to a blender.

- Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Taste and adjust sweetness or thickness by adding ice, berries, or liquid.
- Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately.
Notes
- Green Tea Tip: Brew your green tea in advance and let it cool before blending. Using hot tea can wilt greens and alter the texture.
- Matcha Option: Swap brewed green tea for 1 tsp of matcha powder if you want a stronger antioxidant boost and a creamier texture.
- Make It Vegan: Use plant-based milk (like almond or oat milk) and skip honey or replace it with maple syrup.
- Protein Add-In: For a post-workout version, add 1 scoop of vanilla plant-based protein powder.
- Storage: This smoothie is best consumed fresh, but you can store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Shake well before drinking.
- Sweetness: Taste before adding honey or sweeteners—ripe berries and banana usually make it sweet enough.
