• 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
• 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional for added fiber and nutrients)
• 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (if using plain yogurt)
• 1 cup almond milk (or any milk of choice)

Instructions

1. Prepare Ingredients: Ensure all ingredients are washed, chopped, and ready to blend.
2. Blend: In a high-speed blender, combine the pear, spinach, banana, Greek yogurt, chia seeds (if using), honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, almond milk, and ice cubes.
