Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 1 cup kale leaves
- 0.5 whole ripe avocado
- 1 scoop unsweetened protein powder
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened almond butter
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 5 pieces ice cubes
- 0.5 cup water
Instructions
Start by washing the baby spinach and kale leaves thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or grit.
In a blender, add the almond milk, baby spinach, kale leaves, and half of a ripe avocado.
Add one scoop of unsweetened protein powder to the blender, suitable for your dietary preference such as pea protein or hemp protein.
Include one tablespoon of unsweetened almond butter for creaminess and extra protein.
Sprinkle in one tablespoon of chia seeds, which will add thickness and a dose of omega-3 fatty acids.
Add 5 pieces of ice cubes to make the smoothie cold and refreshing.
Pour in half a cup of water to assist with the blending process.
Blend all the ingredients on high speed for about 1 to 2 minutes, or until fully smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides as needed.
Once the smoothie reaches your desired consistency, pour it into a glass and serve immediately.
