Instructions
Start by gathering all your ingredients and ensuring your blender is clean and ready to use.
Pour 1.5 cups of almond milk into the blender. This will serve as the liquid base for your smoothie.
Add 1 frozen banana to the blender. This will give your smoothie a creamy texture and natural sweetness.
Add 0.75 cup of frozen mixed berries. These not only enhance the flavor but also add antioxidants.
Add 1 tablespoon of chia seeds for added fiber and omega-3 fatty acids.
Scoop in 2 tablespoons of peanut butter, providing a rich, nutty flavor and protein.
Add 1 cup of fresh spinach leaves to boost the nutrient profile with iron and vitamins.
Include 1 scoop of vanilla plant-based protein powder to increase the protein content, helping with muscle repair and satiety.
Optional: If you prefer a thicker, colder smoothie, add 4 ice cubes to the blender.
Secure the blender lid and blend all the ingredients on high speed for 1-2 minutes or until smooth and well combined.
Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness if needed. You can add a bit of maple syrup or a few dates if you like it sweeter.
Divide the smoothie evenly into two glasses and serve immediately for the freshest taste and texture.
