Allergens

Tree nuts (almond, almond milk)

Ingredients

• 1 cup baby spinach leaves, washed
• 1/2 medium avocado, pitted and peeled
• 1/2 cup frozen mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries)
• 1/2 medium banana, peeled and frozen
• 1 tablespoon chia seeds
• 1 tablespoon almond butter
• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
• Ice cubes, as needed

Instructions

1. In a blender, add the baby spinach leaves, avocado, mixed berries, frozen banana, chia seeds, and almond butter.
2. Pour in the almond milk and blend until smooth and creamy. Add ice cubes if desired for a thicker consistency.
3. Taste and adjust sweetness or tartness as needed with a natural sweetener like stevia or monk fruit, if preferred.
4. Pour the smoothie into a glass and enjoy immediately.

Chef’s Insight

Use frozen fruit to create a thicker and creamier texture without adding ice cubes.

Notes

For added protein, consider blending in a scoop of unflavored whey protein or plant-based protein powder.
