Print Recipe

A quick and easy green smoothie packed with protein, healthy fats, and fresh greens to provide a vibrant energy boost without the jitters.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, packed
  • ½ medium ripe avocado
  • 1 medium frozen banana
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (about 30g)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
  • 4–5 ice cubes
  • ½ inch piece fresh ginger, peeled (optional)

Instructions

  1. Wash the fresh spinach thoroughly to remove any grit.
  2. Peel and pit the avocado, then cut it into chunks.
  3. Slice the frozen banana if it’s in a large piece for easier blending.
  4. If using fresh ginger, peel and chop into small pieces.
  5. Pour 1 cup (240 ml) of unsweetened almond milk into your blender, then add the 2 cups of packed spinach.
  6. Add 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder and 1 tablespoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice.
  7. Add the avocado chunks and frozen banana slices.
  8. Sprinkle in 1 tablespoon of chia seeds and the chopped ginger if using.
  9. Secure the lid and blend on high for about 45 seconds or until everything is silky smooth. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash more almond milk and blend again.
  10. Add ice cubes to chill and bulk up the smoothie if desired. Blend again for 10-15 seconds.
  11. Taste and adjust sweetness with honey or maple syrup if desired.
  12. Pour into your favorite glass and serve immediately.

Notes

Use frozen banana for creamy texture without watering down the smoothie. Blend liquids and greens first to protect your blender motor. Chia seeds can be soaked in almond milk for 10 minutes if prepping ahead to avoid gritty texture. Adjust thickness with almond milk rather than water to preserve flavor. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours and shake before drinking.
