Everyday Green Smoothie

Name: Everyday Green Smoothie
Prep time: 5 min
Ingredients: 1 Large banana; 1 cup Fresh greens (Kale & Spinach); 1 tsp Chia seeds; 1 tbsp Peanut butter; 1/2 cup Almond milk; 1/4 tsp Cinnamon powder; 1 scoop Protein powder; 1 scoop Collagen

This is my go to smoothie, filled with spinach, bananas, kale, almond milk, chia seeds and other wholesome ingredients. It is a great breakfast on the go and the only recipe you need.

My mornings are usually smoothies. I like to sip on something while I get started with my day which mainly includes a bit of laptop work. Smoothies are filling and delicious, making for a perfect meal on the go. I consider this smoothie as a meal since it is packed with protein, fiber, carbs, vitamins and minerals.

This breakfast smoothie could also be a post workout smoothie for an immediate protein shot of goodness to keep those energy levels up and help rejuvenate the body. I love adding collagen into my smoothie but you could leave if you don’t consume it. The same goes with protein powder. I add protein if this smoothie is being consumed after a workout or sometimes before the workout as well.

The ingredients are straight forward and you can interchange them as you prefer. This is my go to recipe though, I mean I have this smoothie every second day if not everyday. I use spinach, kale, bananas, nut butter, almond milk, chia seeds, flax seeds (sometimes), cinnamon powder, turmeric powder (sometimes), protein powder, collagen and sometimes I add frozen blueberries as well. You can use frozen bananas for a creamier texture. I also like to top the smoothie with toasted nuts or granola but that is if I am really hungry as the smoothie is very filling.

You could use any fruits and nuts you like to make this, also the addition of celery is a great idea too. When it comes to taste you don’t taste the greens and the celery. I used almond milk but any milk you like works in this recipe. You can use any seeds you like but chia and flax seeds are good for you and create a thick textured smoothie. I used homemade peanut butter (you can find my recipe here) you can use any nut/seed butter you like and have at home.

Food pairing:

I mean this is a one meal smoothie situation so you don’t need to eat anything with it but if you were feeling hungry have an avocado toast with this or raspberry jam on toast. I would also serve a fruit salad, hummus and carrot sticks/crackers with this. But nothing heavy.

Now that we have covered how to make this recipe, let us get blending. Happy Drinking Ninjas!

Optional - I like to smear some peanut butter around the glass before pouring the smoothie into it.

Notes

If you want it thicker, reduce the milk and let it sit for a couple of mins before drinking. The addition of flaxseeds also help thickening the smoothie.
If you want it thinner, add more milk or water.
You can use frozen banana to make it creamier.
I like to top the smoothie with granola and some nuts but that’s optional.
