Description

A delicious and nutritious Protein-Packed Green Smoothie to energize your day.


Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh spinach, packed
  • 1 medium banana, frozen
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
  • 1 tablespoon almond butter
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon honey (optional)
  • Ice cubes (optional, for thickness)

Instructions

  1. In a blender, combine the fresh spinach, frozen banana, almond milk, protein powder, almond butter, chia seeds, and honey if using.
  2. Blend on high until smooth and creamy, about 30-60 seconds. If you prefer a thicker smoothie, add a few ice cubes and blend again.
  3. Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness by adding more honey if desired.
  4. Pour the smoothie into a glass and enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • For a creamier texture, use frozen spinach instead of fresh.
  • You can substitute almond milk with any milk of your choice, such as oat or soy milk.
  • For added flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon.
