Spinach, Avocado, Almond Butter Smoothie

Try this smoothie to start your day! It incorporates greens, healthy fats, and protein, which will keep you satiated and full. I usually pair this with some scrambled or fried eggs because I personally like something warm to start my day. However, this smoothie on its own is plenty filling, it’s a huge nutritional boost, AND it take 5 minutes or less to make!

A note about the healthy fats (avocado and almond butter) used in this recipe:

We need fat for vitamin and mineral absorption and to protect our organs. High-quality fats can steady our metabolism, help keep our hormone levels balanced, and nourish our skin, hair, and nails. They also support cell growth and brain function!

Ingredients: (Makes 1 serving)

  • 2 cups (or one large handful) fresh spinach leaves

  • ½ avocado

  • 1 tbsp almond butter

  • ¾ cup unsweetened almond milk

  • 1 scoop high-quality protein powder (I use Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides)

  • Handful of ice

  • (optional: 1/2 a banana for added sweetness)

Directions: 

  • Blend ingredients until smooth. Sip and enjoy!

Notes: Feel free to substitute other ingredients, like coconut milk and/or cashew butter. Make it your own!
