  • 1 cup baby spinach
  • 1 pitted date

Notes

  • This smoothie is best consumed fresh to enjoy the optimal texture and nutrient content.
  • You can substitute cold green tea with coconut water or plain water for a different flavor profile.
  • Soaking the chia seeds for a few minutes before adding can enhance digestibility and texture if desired.
  • Add ice cubes before blending for a chilled smoothie on warm days.
