Ingredients

1 cup spinach or kale (fresh)

1 medium banana (frozen preferred)

1 cup almond milk (or preferred milk alternative)

1 scoop protein powder (whey, soy, or plant-based)

2 tablespoons nut butter (peanut or almond)

1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)

½ cup Greek yogurt (optional for creaminess)

½ cup mixed berries (fresh or frozen)

Ice cubes (optional, for thickness)

Instructions

  1. Gather all ingredients and prepare the banana and berries (frozen works best for thicker texture).
  2. Place spinach or kale at the bottom of the blender for smooth blending.
  3. Add sliced banana and mixed berries to the blender.
  4. Pour in almond milk or your preferred milk alternative, ensuring enough liquid for smooth blending.
  5. Scoop in protein powder and add nut butter for extra protein and creaminess.
  6. If using, add chia seeds for omega-3 fatty acids and fiber.
  7. For a thicker, creamier texture, add Greek yogurt.
  8. Blend on high for 2-3 minutes until smooth and creamy.
  9. Check the consistency and adjust with almond milk for a thinner smoothie or ice cubes for a thicker texture.
  10. Taste and adjust sweetness with honey, maple syrup, or stevia as desired.
  11. Pour into a glass or mason jar and top with additional berries or chia seeds if desired.

Notes

For a vegan version, use plant-based protein powder, dairy-free yogurt, and non-dairy milk.

Experiment with different fruits like mango, pineapple, or apple for added flavor.

For extra nutrients, add spirulina, maca powder, or flaxseeds.
