Savory Smoothie
Servings: 1 smoothie
If you're looking for a not-so-sweet smoothie then this savory smoothie is for you! It is naturally protein-packed and full of the flavors of my favorite fresh salsa. It's definitely a unique departure from the traditional fruit sweetened smoothies, yet I dare you to give it a blend!
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup spinach
- ½ cup fresh cilantro
- 1 cup vegetable stock
- ½ cup chickpeas canned (drained)
- ½ cup tomato fresh (diced)
- ¼ avocado
- 1 serving homemade protein powder
- ½ lemon juiced
- ½ tsp chili powder
- ¼ tsp cumin ground
- ⅛ tsp cayenne pepper
- ⅛ tsp sea salt
- ⅛ tsp black pepper ground
Instructions
- Place spinach, cilantro and vegetable stock in blender. Puree until smooth.
- Add remaining ingredients, blend again. Taste and add more salt and pepper, if needed.
Notes
- Swap chickpeas with the bean/lentil of your choice (just make sure they are cooked/canned and not raw).
- homemade protein powder adds 10g of protein, 4g of healthy fat and 7g of fiber. Swap with your fav plant-based protein powder.
- If you can't handle the taste of cilantro, swap it with basil or parsley.
