Basic Berry Protein Smoothie


I enjoy making this simple smoothie quite often.  As soon as my daughter hears the blender going, she comes running into the kitchen screaming with joy.  My husband also requests this smoothie after a good workout.  

You'd never know that this delicious smoothie even had spinach in it, and no added sweetener! 






INGREDIENTS:

- 1 large, ripe banana
- 1 cup of water or almond milk
- 1 heaping cup of frozen berries (my favorite combination is strawberries & blueberries)
-  1 scoop of good quality vanilla or chocolate protein powder (I use Sunwarrior Protein Powder)
- spinach (approximately 2 cups)
- 1/4 cup chia seed gel 
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin coconut oil


DIRECTIONS:

1. Add all ingredients (except coconut oil) into a high-speed blender.  

2. Turn on blender, and blend for a few seconds.  Continue blending, and carefully add the coconut oil and blend until smooth.  

3.  Serve immediately and enjoy!


Approximately 1-2 servings
