Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 scoop protein powder plain or vanilla
- 1 cup water
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1/4 avocado
- 1/2 cup strawberries frozen or fresh
- 1/2 cup spinach leaves frozen or fresh
- 1/2 cup frozen cauliflower riced or florets
- 1/2 cup plain 2% Greek yogurt
- 1 scoop ice
Instructions
- Blend all the ingredients in a high-powered blender until smooth and creamy!
Notes
+ I use 365 Brand Whey Grassfed Vanilla Protein Powder (I prefer the plain version in the same brand, but sometimes it's difficult to find).
+ If using fresh spinach leaves, be sure to pack them down. More is more. But you can use any leafy greens here, kale leaves are great, too!
+ I prefer to use water for my liquid, but you can also use plain unsweetened almond milk.
+ If you want to keep this dairy-free, omit the Greek yogurt or use coconut or almond milk yogurt.
+ Instead of chia seeds, you also add hemp seeds for an Omega-3 heart-healthy component.
+ If you like a sweeter smoothie, add more strawberries or half a banana.
+ Sometimes I add frozen coconut because I think it tastes good! Whatever floats your boat!
