Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond milk, unsweetened
- 1 cup Spinach, fresh
- 1 medium Banana, frozen
- 0.5 large Avocado
- 1 tablespoon Flaxseeds
- 1 tablespoon Chia seeds
- 1 scoop Vanilla protein powder (plant-based)
- 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 4 pieces Ice cubes
Instructions
Gather all ingredients and ensure the banana is peeled and frozen.
In a high-speed blender, combine 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk and 1 cup of fresh spinach. Blend until smooth to ensure the spinach is well incorporated.
Add the frozen banana, half of a large avocado, 1 tablespoon of flaxseeds, 1 tablespoon of chia seeds, and a scoop of vanilla plant-based protein powder to the blender.
Sprinkle in 0.5 teaspoon of cinnamon for added flavor and heart-healthy benefits.
Add 4 ice cubes to the blender to give the shake a refreshing, thick texture.
Blend all the ingredients on high for about 1-2 minutes or until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Check the shake's consistency. If it's too thick, add a little more almond milk and blend again.
Pour the shake into a glass and serve immediately. If desired, garnish with a sprinkle of chia or flaxseeds on top for an extra nutritional boost.
