Berry Almond Milk Smoothie
Servings: 1 serving
This almond milk smoothie blends strawberries, blueberries and banana into a creamy, naturally sweet glass, and the spinach disappears under all that berry color. It's 5 minutes and 212 calories, with optional protein powder for more staying power.
Ingredients
- 1 cup spinach
- 1 cup almond milk
- ½ cup strawberries
- ½ cup blueberries
- 1 banana
- 1 serving homemade protein powder optional
Instructions
- Pour the almond milk into a blender and add the spinach. Blend until smooth.
- Add the strawberries, blueberries, banana and protein powder, if using, and blend again until smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed. Pour into a glass and serve immediately.
Notes
- Make It Thicker: Use frozen strawberries, blueberries or banana for a thicker, colder smoothie.
- Fiber Boost: Blend in 1 tablespoon chia seeds or ground flaxseed. A spoonful of nut butter adds staying power too.
- Mix-Ins: A pinch of cinnamon, a splash of vanilla extract or 1 tablespoon cacao powder all work here. Find more ideas in this superfoods list.
- Storing: Best fresh, but it keeps in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Shake before drinking, and thin with a splash of almond milk if you added chia or flax.
