Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 scoop unflavored protein powder
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 0.5 medium avocado
- 0.25 cup frozen blueberries
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal
- 1 teaspoon MCT oil
- 4 pieces ice cubes
Instructions
Start by gathering all your ingredients and ensuring your blender is clean and ready to use.
Pour 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk into the blender as the liquid base for your smoothie.
Add 1 scoop of unflavored protein powder, which will provide the necessary protein boost without additional carbs.
Rinse and dry 1 cup of baby spinach, then add it to the blender for a rich source of vitamins and minerals.
Cut a medium avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out half of the avocado flesh into the blender for healthy fats and creaminess.
Measure and add 0.25 cup of frozen blueberries. They add a touch of natural sweetness and antioxidants without a lot of carbs.
Add 1 tablespoon of chia seeds to the blender for added fiber and omega-3 fatty acids.
Incorporate 1 tablespoon of flaxseed meal for additional fiber and nutrients without the carbs.
Pour in 1 teaspoon of MCT oil to the mixture for an extra energy boost and healthy fats.
Add 4 ice cubes to make the smoothie refreshing and chilled.
Secure the blender lid and blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, which should take about 1 to 2 minutes.
Check the consistency; if it’s too thick for your preference, add a little more almond milk and blend again.
Once blended to your liking, pour the smoothie into a large glass or shaker bottle.
Serve immediately and enjoy your nutritious, low-carb Gladiator Smoothie as a meal replacement or post-workout snack.
