Ingredients
- 1 frozen banana
- 1 coop vanilla protein powder
- 1 cup cold unsweetened vanilla almond milk or other milk
- 2 cups baby spinach loosely packed
- 1 Tablespoon chia seeds
Instructions
- Place all ingredients into a high-powered blender and blend until smooth.
Notes
- What to use instead of protein powder: If you don't have protein powder on hand, you can add protein in a variety of ways. You can mix in Greek yogurt, nuts, nut butter or seeds. I tried this smoothie with Greek yogurt instead of protein powder and it was very spinachy so I’d recommend using only 1 cup spinach if using yogurt as the protein. If you add nuts or seeds, I recommend adding about 2 Tablespoons total.
- What to swap the banana with: You can replace the frozen banana with ice or frozen milk ice cubes (about 1 cup), frozen cauliflower rice (start with 1/4 cup), frozen zucchini or other frozen fruit like mangos or peaches.
