Green Machine

INGREDIENTS

• 1/4 ripe avocado

• 2 medium ripe bananas (previously sliced and frozen)

• 1 cup fresh or frozen mixed berries (use strawberries/raspberries for a greener smoothie, darker berries for a purple smoothie)

• 2 large handfuls spinach

• 1 small handful kale 

• 1 1/2 - 2 cups unsweetened non-dairy milk 

• 1 Tbsp flaxseed meal

• 2 Tbsp salted creamy almond or peanut butter (optional)

• 2 Tbsp Tropical Vanilla Recovery 

TOPPINGS

• Roasted unsalted sunflower seeds

• Granola

• Raw or roasted nuts (almonds, pecans, walnuts, etc.)

• Shredded unsweetened coconut

• Fresh berries

• Hemp seeds

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Add all smoothie ingredients to a blender and blend until creamy and smooth.

2. Add more almond milk (or water) to thin.


3. Taste and adjust flavor as needed, adding more ripe banana (or maple syrup) for added sweetness, more spinach for a bright green hue, or almond milk for creaminess.


4. For the green smoothie, I used strawberries, which let the green color come through more.

5. For more protein, add nut butter! This also offsets / enhances the natural sweetness of the smoothie.


6. Divide between 2 serving bowls (as original recipe is written / adjust if altering batch size) and top with desired toppings!



7. Best when fresh, though leftovers can be kept in jars in the fridge for up to 1-2 days.
