  • 1 cup plain kefir or Greek yogurt probiotic-rich
  • 1 medium frozen banana sliced
  • 1 cup frozen blueberries
  • 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 cup fresh spinach packed
  • 1 teaspoon raw honey optional
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk or more for desired consistency
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger grated

Method
 

  1. Gather all ingredients and ensure the banana and blueberries are frozen for a thick, creamy texture.
  2. Pour the kefir or Greek yogurt and almond milk into your blender. This helps the blender blades move smoothly.

  4. Top with the frozen banana slices and frozen blueberries.
  5. Blend on high speed for 45-60 seconds until completely smooth and creamy. Stop and scrape down sides if needed.

Notes

For best gut health benefits, consume this smoothie on an empty stomach in the morning. The chia seeds will continue to thicken the smoothie as it sits, so drink within 10 minutes or add extra liquid if preparing ahead. You can substitute the kefir with coconut yogurt for a dairy-free probiotic option.
