Ingredients

2 Medium bananas
1 cup Unsweetened almond milk adjust if needed
¾ cup Ice cubes
1 cup Frozen wild blueberries
2 Dates pitted
1 cup Fresh spinach
1 tablespoon Chia seeds
1 tablespoon Black seeds (nigella seeds)
¼ cup Probiotic granola

Instructions

Add bananas, almond milk, ice, frozen blueberries, dates, spinach, chia seeds, and black seeds to a blender.
Blend on high until smooth and creamy. If it’s too thick, add a little more almond milk until it reaches your desired consistency.
Taste and adjust the sweetness if needed. Dates usually provide enough natural sweetness.
Pour into a glass and sprinkle probiotic granola on top for crunch.
Serve immediately for the freshest flavor and nutrients.

Notes

Use ripe bananas: The riper they are, the sweeter and creamier your smoothie will be naturally.

Freeze bananas ahead: Slice ripe bananas and freeze them for an ultra-creamy smoothie without needing extra ice.

Soften dates quickly: If your blender struggles, soak the dates in warm water for 5 minutes to make blending easier.

Keep it chilled: Use frozen blueberries instead of fresh to naturally chill the smoothie without watering it down.

Ice for a frosty twist: Add ¾ cup of ice for a cold, frosty texture, or skip it for a thicker smoothie.

Sneak in spinach: It blends smoothly, adding nutrients without affecting the flavor.

Boost with chia and black seeds: Stir them in after blending for a fiber and omega-3 boost with a bit of crunch.

Extra crunch hack: Toast your granola lightly before topping for a deeper, nuttier flavor and extra texture.

Adjust thickness: Start with 1 cup of almond milk and add more gradually if you like it thinner.
