Instructions
- Add the milk and vanilla extract to a high-speed blender.
- Add the frozen blueberries and baby spinach.
- Add the ice cubes and fine sea salt.
- Blend on low for 10 seconds, then gradually increase to high speed and blend for 35–50 seconds until smooth.
- Check the consistency. If too thick, blend in 1–2 tablespoons of additional milk; if too thin, add a few extra ice cubes or frozen blueberries and blend briefly.
- Pour into a 16-ounce glass and serve immediately.
Tips
- Use fresh baby spinach for the best flavor and texture. Substitute the milk with any plant-based milk to make it dairy-free.
