1 cup frozen or fresh fruit of choice (e.g., berries, mango, banana)
1 cup liquid (unsweetened almond milk, coconut milk, or water) Shop
1 cup fresh swiss chard leaves, stems removed
1 tbsp nut butter (almond, peanut), chia seeds, or gluten-free protein powder Shop
0.5 tsp pure vanilla extract Shop
1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional, adjust to taste) Shop
1 cup ice cubes (optional, for extra chill)

Instructions

1 Begin by adding the liquid (almond milk, coconut milk, or water) and fresh swiss chard leaves to your high-speed blender. Blend these for about 30-60 seconds until the chard is completely broken down and the liquid is a vibrant green color. This ensures a smooth texture without any leafy bits.
2 Next, add the frozen or fresh fruit of choice, nut butter or chia seeds or gluten-free protein powder, pure vanilla extract, and optional honey or maple syrup to the blender. If you prefer a colder smoothie, add the ice cubes at this stage.
3 Secure the lid and blend on high speed for approximately 60-90 seconds, or until the mixture is completely smooth and has a creamy consistency. Listen for the blender to sound consistent, indicating all ingredients are well incorporated and no chunks remain.
4 Carefully taste the smoothie and adjust the sweetness if desired by adding a little more honey or maple syrup. Blend for another 10-15 seconds to fully incorporate any added sweetener.
5 Pour the finished smoothie into two glasses and serve immediately for the best texture and flavor. For a thicker smoothie bowl, use less liquid and top with gluten-free granola, fresh fruit, and seeds.

Tips & Notes

Blend the chard with the liquid first, as step 1 says, so no leafy bits remain.
Swiss chard has an earthy taste. A sweet fruit like mango or banana balances it.
Remove the stems, which are stringy in a smoothie, and save them to sauté for another meal.
