Protein Banana Spinach Smoothie

Ingredients:

• 1 ripe banana

• 1 cup fresh spinach leaves (washed)

• 1/2 cup frozen mango chunks

• 1/2 cup almond milk (or any other plant-based milk of your choice)

• 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional, for extra nutrients)

• 1 tablespoon vanilla protein powder (optional, for extra protein)

• Ice cubes (optional, for a colder smoothie)
  

Instructions:

1. Peel the banana and break it into chunks.

2. In a blender, add the banana chunks, fresh spinach leaves, frozen mango chunks, almond milk, chia seeds, and protein powder if using.

3. If you want a colder smoothie, add a handful of ice cubes to the blender.

4. Blend all the ingredients until smooth and creamy. If the smoothie is too thick, you can add a little more almond milk to reach your desired consistency.

5. Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness if needed by adding a small amount of maple syrup or another sweetener of your choice.

6. Pour the smoothie into glasses and serve immediately.
   

This vegan smoothie is packed with nutrients from the spinach, banana, mango, and chia seeds, making it a healthy and delicious choice for breakfast, lunch, dinner or a snack. Enjoy!

The blender I have used for the past 8 years is a Blendtec, I've recently purchased a Vitamix which I use at home the Blendtec is now at work so that I can make my smoothies at work! Someday I will write up a comparison because I do have a favorite!
