Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 cups Swiss chard stems removed, leaves roughly chopped
- 1 cup frozen mango chunks provides creaminess and sweetness
- 1 medium banana ripe or frozen for best texture
- 2 tbsp chia seeds black or white seeds
- 1.5 cups unsweetened almond milk or any plant-based milk
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt plain and unsweetened
- 1 tsp fresh ginger peeled and grated for a spicy kick
- 1 tbsp honey optional, adjust based on fruit sweetness
Notes
For a thicker 'smoothie bowl' consistency, reduce the almond milk to 1 cup. To make ahead, blend everything except the chia seeds and store in an airtight jar for up to 24 hours; stir in chia seeds just before serving to avoid excessive thickening. You can substitute spinach or kale for chard if needed.
