Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large Banana
- 1.5 cups Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cup (for strawberries) or tablespoons (for cocoa powder) Frozen strawberries or unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Blue spirulina powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoons Honey or maple syrup (optional for sweetness)
- 4 pieces Ice cubes
Instructions
Peel the banana and break it into chunks for easier blending.
In a blender, combine the almond milk, banana, and your chosen flavoring: either the frozen strawberries or the unsweetened cocoa powder.
Add the blue spirulina powder, vanilla extract, ice cubes, and optional honey or maple syrup if you want additional sweetness.
Blend everything on high speed until smooth and creamy. If the consistency is too thick for your liking, you can add a little more almond milk and blend again.
Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary, blending briefly to mix in any added sweetener.
Pour the shake evenly into two glasses, garnish with fresh fruit or a sprinkle of cocoa powder (optional), and serve immediately.
