Creamy Banana Spinach Smoothie
This banana spinach smoothie is just what you need for a quick, easy, and nutritious breakfast! It’s packed with plant-based protein, natural sweeteners, and healthy fats.
Equipment
- High-speed blender
Ingredients
- ½ cup plain soy milk (unsweetened)
- ½ cup water
- 1 cup spinach (packed)
- 2 ½ medium ripe bananas
- 1 tablespoon natural peanut butter
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 large Medjool dates (pitted)
- 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
- 1 scoop of vegan vanilla protein
Instructions
- Add soy milk and water to a blender. Next, add the spinach, bananas, peanut butter, cinnamon, dates, and flaxseed.
- Blend on high until you achieve a creamy consistency. If you need more liquid, add water or soy milk 1-2 tablespoons at a time.
- Once smooth and creamy, add the protein and blend again until well combined. Serve immediately in a glass. Happy drinking!
Notes
- Use ripe bananas: For the sweetest flavor and creamiest texture, use extra ripe and spotty bananas.
- Freeze the bananas: Freezing the bananas ahead of time will greatly improve the texture of the smoothie and keep it nice and cold.
- Soak the dates: If you don’t own a high-speed blender and want the dates to fully blend, soak them in hot water for about 5 minutes before blending.
- Adjust the liquid: You can easily add more or less liquid for a thicker or thinner consistency. Just adjust it up or down based on your preferences.
- Drink immediately: For the most ideal consistency and flavor, we always recommend drinking your smoothies immediately after mixing them.
- Nutritional information is a rough estimate and should not be taken as health advice.
