Ingredients
- 1 cup frozen blueberries
- ½ banana (for natural sweetness)
- 1 tsp activated charcoal powder (food-grade only)
- ½ cup coconut water (for electrolytes)
- ½ cup almond milk or oat milk
- 1 tsp honey or agave (optional)
- 1 tbsp chia seeds or flaxseeds
- Ice cubes (optional for thicker texture)
Instructions
- Gather all your ingredients before you begin. If your blueberries are fresh, freeze them for at least 1 hour to achieve that thick, frosty texture that makes the smoothie ultra-refreshing.
- In a high-speed blender, combine the blueberries, banana, activated charcoal powder, coconut water, and milk of choice. Start on low speed to break down the frozen fruit, then gradually increase to high until smooth and creamy.
- Taste and check the texture — if it feels too thick, add a splash more coconut water. If you prefer a richer texture, toss in a few ice cubes and blend again for 10–15 seconds.
- If you enjoy a sweeter flavor, drizzle in honey or agave syrup while blending. The subtle sweetness helps balance the earthy tones of the charcoal.
- Stir in chia or flaxseeds after blending (instead of blending them in). This allows them to slightly swell and create a silky, nutrient-rich texture. Let the smoothie rest for about 2–3 minutes.
- Pour the blend into a tall glass or jar, and admire its deep gray-blue hue — a sign of detox power! Enjoy immediately for the best flavor and nutrient profile.
