Gather Ingredients: Collect all ingredients listed: milk, fresh baby greens, frozen banana, frozen fruit, Greek yogurt, nut butter or seeds, and your choice of sweetener. Prepare your blender for use.
Add to Blender: Place the ingredients into the blender in the specified order starting with the liquid base, followed by greens, frozen fruits, Greek yogurt, nut butter or seeds, and finally the sweetener. This layering helps blending efficiency.
Blend Until Smooth: Blend the mixture on high speed until completely smooth and creamy. Pause to scrape down the sides if necessary. Taste and adjust sweetness as desired by adding more sweetener and blending briefly again.

Notes

Use any dairy or plant-based milk according to your preference or dietary needs.
You can substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based alternative for a vegan option.
Frozen fruits can be mixed varieties like berries, peaches, or mango for different flavors.
Adding nut butter or seeds boosts protein and healthy fats, enhancing satiety.
Adjust sweetness gradually to avoid over-sweetening; natural sugars from frozen fruit often suffice.
This smoothie is best consumed fresh to retain nutrient quality and vibrant taste.
