Notes

You can customize this smoothie to your taste by using different types of berries or adding other fruits.

Using fresh berries will change the flavor and texture, so keep that in mind if you decide to make the swap.

If you’re new to green smoothies, start with one cup of spinach and gradually increase the amount as you get used to the flavor.

Chia seeds can absorb a lot of liquid, so make sure to drink this smoothie quickly to avoid it becoming too thick.

You can also soak the chia seeds in a little water before adding them to the blender to help them blend more smoothly.

Turmeric powder can stain clothing and surfaces, so be careful when handling it.

You can substitute honey with another sweetener of your choice, such as maple syrup or stevia.

This smoothie is quite large, so feel free to halve the ingredients if you’re serving fewer people.
