Indulge in a nutritious and refreshing Green Chia Power Smoothie, packed with the goodness of almond milk, chia seeds, spinach, and more. This smoothie is an excellent way to kickstart your day with a boost of energy and essential nutrients.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Measure out 1 cup of almond milk and pour it into a blender.
- Measure 1/2 tablespoon of chia seeds and add them to the blender.
- Add 1 teaspoon of coconut oil to the blender.
- Add 1 scoop of whey protein powder to the blender.
- Measure 1 cup of spinach and add it to the blender.
- Peel and break the banana into smaller chunks, then add them to the blender.
- Add 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the blender.
- Secure the lid on the blender.
- Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy. This should take about 30-60 seconds. If the mixture is too thick, you can add a little more almond milk to reach your desired consistency.
- Stop the blender and taste the smoothie. If needed, adjust the flavor by adding more banana for sweetness, more spinach for a green boost, or a little more vanilla extract for extra flavor.
- Blend again briefly if you’ve added any additional ingredients.
- Pour the smoothie into a glass.
- Optionally, you can garnish with a sprinkle of chia seeds on top for an extra touch.
- Serve immediately while the smoothie is still cold and fresh.
Tips:
- Use Frozen Banana: For a creamier texture and colder smoothie, peel and freeze the banana before blending.
- Blend in Steps: Start by blending the almond milk, spinach, and chia seeds first. This ensures the spinach and chia seeds are well-incorporated before adding the remaining ingredients.
- Adjust Consistency: If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more almond milk until you reach your desired consistency.
- Sweeten to Taste: If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, consider adding a teaspoon of honey or a couple of dates.
- Use High-Quality Protein Powder: Choose a clean, high-quality whey protein powder to avoid artificial sweeteners and additives.
This Green Chia Power Smoothie is not only delicious but also a powerhouse of nutrients. It’s perfect for a quick breakfast or an energizing snack. Enjoy the blend of flavors, and relish the health benefits it offers!
