Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or unsweetened soy milk
- 1 cup fresh spinach packed
- 0.5 cup frozen avocado chunks
- 0.5 cup frozen cucumber chunks
- 0.25 cup fresh mint leaves loosely packed
- 1 tbsp chia seeds

Notes
Storage: Best consumed immediately. Leftovers can be stored in a sealed jar in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours; shake vigorously before drinking as separation may occur. Make-Ahead: Pre-portion all the solid ingredients (spinach, avocado, cucumber, mint) into a freezer-safe bag and freeze. In the morning, just add the bag contents and liquid to the blender. Variations: Add 1/4 cup of plain Greek yogurt for extra protein and creaminess. Substitute half the spinach with kale (stems removed). For a different flavor profile, replace mint with a small handful of fresh basil.
