Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup wild blueberries (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 ripe peach, pitted and chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 banana, sliced
  • 1 cup spinach (optional for added nutrition)
  • 1 cup almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional for added texture and nutrition)
  • Ice cubes (optional, for a thicker smoothie)

Instructions

  1. Gather all your ingredients: Lay everything out on the counter for a smoother process.
  2. Wash the wild blueberries: Rinse fresh blueberries under cold water. If using frozen, no need to thaw.
  3. Prepare the peach: Slice the peach in half, remove the pit, and chop into smaller pieces. Keep the skin on for added fiber if desired.
  4. Grate the ginger: Use a microplane or fine grater to grate about a tablespoon of fresh ginger.
  5. Slice the banana: Peel and slice the banana into rounds for easier blending.
  6. Prepare the spinach (if using): Rinse and pat dry the spinach.
  7. Add the ingredients to the blender: Layer the wild blueberries, chopped peach, grated ginger, sliced banana, and spinach in the blender.
  8. Pour in the almond milk: Add one cup of almond milk to help with blending.
  9. Sweeten it up: Drizzle in honey or maple syrup to taste.
  10. Add chia seeds (if using): Toss in chia seeds for extra texture and nutrition.
  11. Add ice cubes (optional): For a thicker smoothie, add ice cubes.
  12. Blend it all together: Blend on high speed for 30-60 seconds until smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides if necessary.
  13. Taste the smoothie: Adjust sweetness or consistency by adding more honey or almond milk as needed.
  14. Adjust the consistency: Add more almond milk for a thinner smoothie or more ice/banana for a thicker one.
  15. Pour into glasses: Serve in your favorite glasses, like mason jars for a rustic touch.
  16. Garnish (optional): Top with whole wild blueberries, a slice of peach, or a sprinkle of chia seeds for presentation.
  17. Enjoy immediately: Smoothies are best fresh, so enjoy right away!
