Ingredients
  

Smoothie Base
  • 1 cup fresh spinach Can substitute with kale for extra nutrients.
  • 1 medium frozen banana Using frozen enhances texture, but fresh also works!
  • 1 cup almond milk Feel free to swap with any plant-based milk or regular milk.
  • 1 scoop vegan protein powder Greek yogurt can be used as an alternative.
Optional Enhancers
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds Can be replaced with flaxseeds or omitted.
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon Adjust based on your flavor preference.
  • 1 cup fresh pineapple Substitute with mango for a different tropical flavor.

Equipment

  • High-speed Blender

Method
 

Steps
  1. Start by gathering your high-speed blender and adding in spinach, frozen banana, and almond milk. Then, scoop in vegan protein powder along with chia seeds, cinnamon, and fresh pineapple. Blend on high for about 30 seconds until smooth and creamy.
  2. Pause to taste your Green Power Smoothie. If you prefer a sweeter profile, add a bit more frozen banana or a splash of vanilla extract and blend again for another 15 seconds.
  3. Pour the smoothie into your favorite glass or bowl, and admire its green hue. For an added touch, top with chia seeds, coconut flakes, or slices of fresh banana.
  4. Enhance the texture and flavor with granola, mixed nuts, or fresh fruit. This adds contrast to the creamy consistency.
