I love green smoothies because they're fresh, light, and perfect for those on-the-go mornings when you need something quick. Bonus: You can't taste the spinach, so you're getting a third of your vegetables in for the day without even thinking about it! No brainer!
Ingredients
1 banana
2 heaping handfuls of fresh spinach
¾ cup vanilla almond milk
1 Tbsp chia seeds
1 Tbsp almond butter (PB2 is a great low-fat alternative)
1 cup ice
1 dash of cinnamon
Note: You can substitute spinach for virtually any other leafy green (kale, dandelion greens, swiss chard) but make sure to remove the stems since they're a bit bitter. If you're feeling adventurous, ginger, bee pollen, and spriulina are all fun add-ins!
Instructions
Blend until creamy, and enjoy! For a creamier consistency, add extra banana and spinach. For a lighter punch, add extra almond milk. Serve immediately- it's best when fresh, but you can keep it for up to one day in the fridge!
