Servings: 1 smoothie (about 12 ounces without ice)
Calories: 235 kcal

Ingredients

  • ¾ cup almond milk plus additional as needed, unsweetened
  • 2 ounces spinach about 2 big handfuls, or roughly chopped kale leaves
  • ½ banana cut into chunks and frozen, medium
  • ½ cup mango chunks frozen, or pineapple chunks
  • 1 tablespoon nut butter I like almond butter or peanut butter, of choice
  • ice optional
  • protein powder 1 tablespoon chia seeds, 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal, optional, ½ scoop

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place all of the ingredients in the blender in the order listed: almond milk, spinach, banana, mango, nut butter, and any extra mix-ins.
  2. Blend until smooth. If you'd like it a bit thicker, add in a few ice cubes and blend again. Pour and enjoy!

Notes

  • If you are not using a high-powered blender such as a Vitamix, I recommend blending the spinach and almond milk first, then blending in the banana, then blending in the mango, nut butter, and any additional mix-ins.
  • TO STORE: Refrigerate smoothies in an airtight jar or storage container for up to 1 day.
  • TO FREEZE: Freeze smoothies in freezer-safe jars for up to 3 months. Let thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.
