Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Ensure you have all your ingredients measured and ready to use.
- Peel the banana.
- Pour 1/2 cup of water into the blender.
- Follow with 1/2 cup of almond milk.
- Add 1 cup of fresh spinach to the blender.
- Scoop 1 serving (30g) of whey protein powder into the blender.
- Add 1 tablespoon of almond butter.
- Add 1/2 cup of frozen strawberries.
- Break the banana into smaller pieces and add to the blender.
- Place the lid on the blender securely.
- Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy, typically around 1-2 minutes.
- If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more water or almond milk and blend again.
- If it's too thin, add a few more frozen strawberries or a bit of banana to thicken it up.
- Pour the smoothie into a glass.
- Optionally, garnish with a few slices of strawberry or banana on top.
- Drink immediately to enjoy it fresh, or store in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Shake well before drinking if stored.
Tips:
- For a thicker smoothie, use frozen bananas instead of fresh ones.
- If you prefer a smoother texture, blend the spinach and liquid first before adding the other ingredients.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding a small amount of honey or a few pitted dates if desired.
- Feel free to add other superfoods like chia seeds or flaxseeds for additional nutrition.
- Ensure you blend until completely smooth, especially if using a high-speed blender for the best consistency.
