This smoothie has a the ingredients to get you going in the morning, yet maintains a delicious flavor and texture thanks to the banana. The chia seeds and walnuts provide some healthful Omega-3s, which most of us don’t get nearly enough of in our diets. Greek yogurt provides some protein, and of course spinach gives you those oh-so-important leafy greens.

Add the ingredients in order of softness, with the frozen ingredients going last. This will help with the blending process 🙂

You can find my favorite blender here – yes, it is expensive but I’ve had mine 7+ years and it still works perfectly (and I use it almost every day!) Note: if you’re a Costco member, they sell Vitamix several times for year at a significant discount.
