Smoothie with Berries, Spinach, and Yogurt

This smoothie is a great way to start your day or refuel after a workout. It's packed with nutrients and antioxidants, and it's delicious too! The berries provide sweetness and antioxidants, the spinach provides vitamins and minerals, the yogurt provides protein and healthy fats, and the water helps to thin out the smoothie and make it easier to drink.

I first came up with this recipe when I was looking for a way to use up some leftover berries and spinach. I threw everything into the blender with some yogurt and water, and it turned out so well that I've been making it ever since. I've tweaked the recipe over the years, and I've found that the combination of berries, spinach, yogurt, and water is the perfect balance of flavors and nutrients.
