Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 whole frozen bananas peeled and sliced before freezing for best texture
- 1.5 cups unsweetened almond milk or any plant-based milk of choice
- 1 tsp spirulina powder high-quality organic blue-green algae
- 1 tbsp chia seeds for added fiber and omega-3s
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt use coconut yogurt for a vegan version
- 1 tbsp almond butter provides healthy fats for satiety
- 0.25 tsp vanilla extract enhances the natural sweetness
- 1 handful fresh baby spinach washed and dried
Notes
For a colder smoothie, add 3-4 ice cubes before blending. If you find the spirulina flavor too earthy, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to brighten the profile. Store leftovers in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 12 hours, though separation may occur; shake well before drinking.
