Ingredients
Fruits and Vegetables
- ½ banana (fresh or frozen)
- ½ avocado (fresh or frozen)
- 1 cup baby spinach (lightly packed)
- ½ cup frozen mango (cubed)
Protein and Liquids
- 1 scoop vegan vanilla protein powder (optional, recommended Sunwarrior brand)
- 1 cup plant milk (almond milk preferred, but any plant milk works)
Instructions
- Prepare ingredients: Gather all ingredients and measure them carefully. If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, plan to add a sweetener later.
- Add ingredients to blender: Pour the plant milk into a high-speed blender first, then add banana, avocado, spinach, frozen mango, and protein powder if using. Add any optional add-ins at this stage.
- Blend: Blend on high speed until all ingredients are smooth and creamy. If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more plant milk to reach desired consistency.
- Adjust sweetness: Taste the smoothie and blend in one date or your preferred sweetener if needed to enhance flavor.
- Serve: Pour the smoothie into a glass or jar and enjoy immediately. The smoothie is best fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
Notes
- Use frozen banana and mango to achieve a chilled, smoothie-like texture without adding ice.
- Choosing a high-speed blender ensures a smooth, creamy consistency.
- The vegan protein powder is optional but adds extra protein for a more filling smoothie.
- Plant milk can be substituted with any type of milk according to preference or dietary restrictions.
- Consume fresh for best taste and nutritional benefits; storage up to 24 hours is possible if refrigerated.
