Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk substitute coconut or cashew
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- 1 tablespoon all-natural nut butter peanut, almond, sunbutter, etc
- 0.5 cup frozen blueberries
- 1.5 cups baby spinach leaves lightly packed
- ice cubes as needed
Instructions
- Pour the milk into a blender, then add the protein powder, nut butter, frozen berries and spinach leaves.
- Puree until smooth. My blender takes 54 seconds, but you may need to scrape the spinach leaves off the sides and give it a few more pulses to thorough combine. Check consistency and add ice cubes as needed.
- Pour into a glass and serve immediately, or cover and store in the refrigerator for up to one day. Stir or shake to combine before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute kale for the spinach, but it has a much stronger taste (and less iron). You may need to add a banana or some form of sweetener to blend the flavors better.
