The spinach might seem like a strange addition, but you won’t even taste it, and you’ll reap the nutritional benefits of fiber, folate, vitamin C, and much more.
BASIC INGREDIENTS
Almond Milk – it’s creamy and a little nutty in flavor. We like to use unsweetened vanilla almond milk, but you can use your favorite variety. If you prefer to use regular milk or other non-dairy milk, that is fine.
Frozen Blueberries – double-check to make sure the kind you buy doesn’t have any added sugar.
Spinach – this superfood ups the nutrition of your smoothie without changing the flavor.
Banana – since there is no added sugar in the recipe, a banana will give it a bit of sweetness.
HOW TO MAKE A BLUEBERRY SMOOTHIE RECIPE THAT BURNS FAT!
Use this simple three-step process to ensure you blend a metabolism-boosting breakfast every time!
Step 1: What to put in your frozen blueberry smoothie
We like wild blueberries because they are so nutrient-dense, but your favorite brand will work.
First, begin with Core Smoothie Ingredients.
1 – 2 Scoops High-Quality Protein Powder. Your powder should be between 15-25g of protein, less than 6g of carbohydrate, less than 2 grams of sugar, and preferably at least 2 grams of dietary fiber.
We like whey or pea protein the best. Here are my two favorites: Whey Protein and Vega Protein Powder.
1 Tablespoon Chia and/or Flaxseed. This option adds some healthy omega-3s and fiber to your smoothie. {optional}
4–8+ Ounces Dairy-Free Liquid. You may use one liquid alone or a combination of two different liquids (i.e., half water and half unsweetened almond milk). You may use less liquid if you like a thicker consistency to your smoothie. Add more liquid if you prefer a thinner consistency shake. Dairy-free liquid choices include water, coconut milk, or unsweetened plain or vanilla almond milk.
Note: You can also use low-fat milk.

Step 2: Choose Some Add-Ins
The add-ins will provide you with some fantastic nourishment for your day.
Adding powerful nutrients in the form of fiber and/or fat will help keep you satiated and satisfied for several hours!
Perfect!
No snacking on empty calories! We recommend choosing 1-2 items from the list below:
1⁄2 ripe avocado
1 Tbsp unsweetened coconut flakes
1 scoop of Green SuperFood or Reds powder
1 Tbsp chia seeds
1 Tbsp flaxseed Oil
1 Tbsp Hempseed
1⁄2–1 ounce nuts (i.e., almonds, cashews, walnuts) or 1 tablespoon nut or seed butter (i.e., almond butter or cashew butter)
Dash of Cinnamon to bring all the flavors together.
