Ingredients

1 cup frozen whole strawberries
1/2 cup frozen raspberries
1/2 banana
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice about 1/2 of a lemon
1 cup loosely packed baby spinach
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1 cup unsweetened coconut milk
filtered water as needed

Instructions

Place all the ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth. If your smoothie is too thick, add small amounts of unsweetened coconut milk or water until you get the desired consistency.
Pour into your favorite glass and enjoy.

Notes

Substitutions

Use coconut water or filtered water if you want a less creamy and slushy smoothie consistency. If you use coconut water, be aware of the extra sugar. Use 1 cup coconut water to start.
Swap in your favorite berries or use a blend of berries.
Swap in your favorite leafy greens; kale and collard greens are great options.
Many strawberry lemon smoothie recipes call for sugar, homemade lemonade, or lemonade mix. If your goal is to make a healthy smoothie, I strongly advise against using either of those ingredients; fresh lemonade still has lots of white sugar. Instead, if you want a sweet smoothie, use a whole ripe banana.
Leave out the banana to reduce the sugar of this strawberry lemon smoothie.
For extra protein, use a scoop of protein powder or collagen powder. You can also add ½ cup of greek vanilla yogurt or try ¼ of avocado.
Blend in your favorite superfoods to add extra nutrition to this smoothie.
