Notes
You can boost the nutritional value of your smoothie by adding leafy greens like spinach, kale, or Swiss chard. They're packed with vitamins and minerals, plus their mild flavor is easily masked by the fruits.
To make your smoothie more filling and balanced, consider adding a protein source such as Greek yogurt, silken tofu, or a scoop of protein powder. This can help keep you satisfied for longer.
I recommend using unsweetened ingredients because the fruit will add enough sugar to sweeten your smoothie naturally. However, If you prefer it sweeter, choose a natural option like honey, maple syrup, or dates instead of refined sugar or sweetened ingredients. Add a little bit at a time to ensure you don't overpower the flavors of the smoothie.
