Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or any milk of choice
- 1 cup fresh spinach packed
- 1 cup frozen mango chunks for creaminess and natural sweetness
- 1 cup frozen pineapple chunks adds tropical flavor
- 1 medium banana fresh or frozen, peeled
- 1 scoop vanilla plant-based protein powder about 30g
- 1 tbsp chia seeds for fiber and omega-3s
- 0.5 tbsp fresh ginger peeled and grated, optional for a zesty kick
Notes
Storage: Best enjoyed immediately. If needed, store in a sealed jar in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours—shake well before drinking as separation may occur. Make-Ahead: Pre-portion all frozen fruits and spinach into blender-ready bags and store in the freezer for a quick blend. Substitutions: Swap spinach for kale (remove tough stems), use mixed berries instead of tropical fruits, or substitute hemp seeds for chia seeds. For a creamier texture, add ¼ avocado.
