Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk or any non-dairy milk
  • 1-2 handfuls organic baby spinach for added greens
  • 1 1/2 cups frozen blueberries preferred
  • 1 banana cut into slices or chunks and frozen. Sub with frozen avocado chunks, or steamed and frozen cauliflower for a banana-free / low carb / keto version.
Optional for a boost of flavor and protein
  • 2 tablespoons dairy-free plain yogurt We like Culina's Plain & Simple coconut cream based yogurt or Kite Hill Plant-based Greek-style yogurt for an almond milk based yogurt. You can sub with canned coconut cream or regular Greek yogurt if not dairy-free.
  • 1 tablespoon plant-based protein powder We like NuZest Just Clean or Sprout Living Simple Sunflower Seed Protein.
  • 1/2 tablespoon creamy nut butter / seed butter optional to taste
  • 1 1/2 tsps ground flax seeds, hemp seeds or chia seeds optional to taste
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract optional to taste
  • Liquid sweetener optional to taste

Equipment

  • High-powered blender
  • Glasses

Method
 

  1. Add all the ingredients to a high-powered blender.
  2. Blend on high until smooth and creamy. Stop the blender to scrape down the sides as needed. Add more liquid to thin the smoothie or add more frozen fruit, ice, or banana to thicken it. Taste the smoothie and add sweetener, if you want it sweeter.
  3. Pour the smoothie into glasses. Garnish with fresh blueberries and some coconut chips, if you want, and enjoy.
