This refreshing and nutrient-packed Berry Detox Smoothie is perfect for rejuvenating your body. Packed with antioxidants from the berries, fiber from the spinach, and a boost of vitamins from the citrus, it’s an energizing, detoxifying drink to start your day or enjoy as a snack.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries)
• 1/2 cup spinach (fresh or frozen)
• 1 small banana (for natural sweetness)
• 1 tablespoon chia seeds or flaxseeds (optional, for added fiber and omega-3s)
• 1/2 cup coconut water (or regular water or almond milk for a creamier texture)
• 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (for a detoxifying boost)
• 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for extra sweetness)
• 3-4 ice cubes (optional, for a colder smoothie)

Instructions

1. Blend the Ingredients:
   • In a blender, combine the mixed berries, spinach, banana, chia or flaxseeds, coconut water, almond milk, and lemon juice. If you want a sweeter smoothie, add honey or maple syrup.
   • Add ice cubes if you prefer a chilled smoothie.
2. Blend Until Smooth:
   • Blend on high speed until all ingredients are well combined and smooth. If the smoothie is too thick, add a bit more water or almond milk to reach your desired consistency.
