Ingredients

1 cup milk I use an unsweetened almond & coconut blend, of your choice
1 vanilla protein powder adjust to the amount of protein you want to add, for serving
1 cup baby spinach loosely packed
1/2 avocado small
1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
sweetener Stevia, coconut sugar, honey, xylitol optional, of your choice
1-2 cups ice

Instructions

Cup of Yum

Add all ingredients into a blender and pulse until there are no chunks of ice. Enjoy!

Notes

Adjust the protein powder to the amount of protein you prefer. Half of a serving of the brand I use is 12 grams of protein, a good amount for a snack or in between meal. For a meal replacement, I added the whole service of protein for 24 grams.
For this recipe I added ice to get that cold frothy texture. I find that it adds bulk to the smoothie and the overall appearance is more appealing.
Another way to get that same texture is to freeze the avocado. This method can be a little trickier if the avocado is exposed to air prior to freezing, which will darken and your smoothie will be a tan/brown color when blended.
