Have you jumped on the morning smoothie band-wagon? A lot of people have, and I must admit that I am a newbie. The thought of combining vegetables, fruit, and almond milk did not exactly instill confidence in me, but I have to say that I am enjoying this new recipe immensely. This comes from the following cookbook:
This recipe uses 1 cup spinach or kale, along with a frozen banana, 1 cup almond milk, 1 Tb. peanut butter, 1 Tb. chia seeds or flax seeds, 1/4 tsp. vanilla, pinch of cinnamon, and 2-3 ice cubes. You can also add 1/2 cup frozen blueberries. I have been making this for several weeks and the recipe is very versatile. This morning I was out of spinach, so added frozen berries and apples. You can also make this ahead of time, storing it in the fridge the night before.
1 cup spinach
1 cup almond milk
1 frozen banana
2-3 ice cubes
1 Tb. chia seeds (or ground flax seeds)
1 Tb. peanut butter
1/4 tsp. vanilla
pinch of cinnamon
Ready to be blended
Smoothie with blueberries
This is really tasty. If you can find a container with a lid, it makes it easy to take it on the go and/or to store it for later.
