Ingredients
For the Smoothie Bowl:
- ½ cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk or milk of choice
- 1 cup fresh spinach
- ½ large banana cut into chunks and frozen (about 1/2 cup)
- 1 cup frozen mixed berries
- 1 tablespoon almond butter peanut butter, or nut butter of choice
- ½ to 1 scoop protein powder optional
- ½ to 1 tablespoon honey or pure maple syrup optional
- High-powered blender such as a Vitamix
For Toppings (pick all or a few):
- Fresh banana slices
- fresh berries such as blueberries, raspberries, and/or sliced strawberries
- 2 tablespoons granola
- 2 teaspoons chia seeds
- Drizzle almond butter or peanut butter
Instructions
- Place the smoothie bowl ingredients in a high-powered blender in the order listed: almond milk, spinach, banana, berries, almond butter, and protein powder (if using). Blend until smooth. The smoothie will be VERY thick. Stop to scrape down the blender a few times as needed and add a little more almond milk if it is completely stuck. Taste and if you would like the smoothie sweeter, add honey or pure maple syrup until your ideal taste is reached.
- Scrape into a serving bowl. Add your desired toppings. Enjoy immediately.

Notes
- TO STORE: Smoothie bowls are best enjoyed freshly after blending for the best texture. However, if you do need to keep it for later, store smoothie bowls without the toppings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.
- TO FREEZE: Freeze smoothies in airtight, freezer-safe jars for up to 3 months. Let thaw overnight in the refrigerator before enjoying, transfer to bowl and then add desired toppings.
