1 teaspoon chia seeds

Instructions

Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients ensuring the blueberries and mango are frozen to give the smoothie a thick, chilled texture.
Combine Ingredients: In a blender, pour the unsweetened coconut milk first, followed by the banana, blackberries, packed baby spinach, and chia seeds. Top the mixture with the frozen blueberries and frozen mango to help blend evenly.

Notes

For extra protein, consider adding a scoop of your favorite plant-based protein powder.
If you prefer a thinner smoothie, add more coconut milk or water to reach desired consistency.
Use fresh fruit instead of frozen if preferred, but add ice cubes to chill the smoothie.
Chia seeds add fiber and omega-3 fatty acids; soak them in coconut milk for 10 minutes before blending for a creamier texture.
This smoothie is naturally sweetened by the fruit; no added sugars needed.
