### Ingredients:
– **1 cup mixed berries** (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries) – fresh or frozen. These berries are loaded with antioxidants that help fight inflammation and protect your cells from oxidative stress. They also add a natural sweetness and vibrant color to your smoothie.
– **1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk** – a dairy-free option that adds a smooth texture without the added sugar. Almond milk is rich in vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant that supports skin health.
– **1/3 cup Greek yogurt** – for a creamy texture and a boost of protein. Greek yogurt also contains probiotics that are great for gut health.
– **2 pitted dates** – naturally sweet, these dates provide a healthy source of fiber and essential minerals like potassium and magnesium.
– **1/2 cup baby spinach** – a nutrient powerhouse that is low in calories but high in vitamins A, C, and K, as well as folate and iron.
– **1 tbsp chia seeds or flaxseeds** – both are packed with omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, and antioxidants, promoting heart health and supporting digestion.
– **1 teaspoon honey** – optional, for a touch of extra sweetness if desired. Honey is a natural sweetener with anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties.
– **Ice cubes** – to make your smoothie refreshingly chilled and perfect for a hot day.
