Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk cold
- 1 large ripe banana peeled, frozen for creamier texture
- 1 cup fresh spinach packed
- 2 tbsp almond butter unsweetened
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 tsp pure maple syrup optional, adjust to taste
- 1 cup ice cubes optional if banana is not frozen
Notes
Storage: Best consumed immediately, but can be stored in a sealed jar in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours (shake before drinking). Make-ahead: Pre-measure dry ingredients and freeze banana slices. Variations: Substitute almond butter with cashew butter, use kale instead of spinach, or add a scoop of plain protein powder for extra protein. For a thicker texture, reduce almond milk to 3/4 cup.
