Ingredients
- 1 cup almond milk or other milk (see note 1)
- 1 small banana frozen
- 2 cups fresh spinach about 2 ½ ounces (see note 2)
- 1/2 medium avocado pitted
- 1 coop protein powder or ½ cup Greek yogurt (see note 3)
- honey to taste, optional (see note 4)
Instructions
- In the bottom of a blender, add almond milk, banana, spinach, avocado, and protein powder or Greek yogurt. Blend until smooth. Taste and add honey if desired.
Notes
- Milk: Use regular cow's milk or your favorite non-dairy milk such as almond milk, cashew milk, oat milk, or soy milk. From skim to whole, any fat level will do.
- Spinach: To take your spinach over the top, substitute a 10-ounce block of frozen spinach, thawed, for the 2 cups fresh. It’s intense but amazing!
- Protein powder: Use either your favorite vanilla protein powder or ½ cup Greek yogurt.
- Honey: Taste the smoothie before adding any sweeteners, then start with a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup. If you use a vanilla-flavored protein powder, you probably won’t need anything.
- Yield: This recipe makes about 2 cups of smoothie, enough for 1 serving.
- Storage: Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Some separation may occur, so shake or stir to combine before enjoying.
