Spinach Almond Butter Smoothie
Another green smoothie… promise it’s worth it!
Does the internet need another green smoothie? Probably not.
But then again, yes. Because THIS is the green smoothie of your dreams. Just a small handful of ingredients (half of which are listed in the title), a quick whiz in the blender, and you will be sipping a smoothie that is jam packed with nutrients, and sweet as can be.
I gave you a little teaser on instagram last month, but I felt it VITAL that I post the full recipe for you here as soon as possible (as it turns out, a month is now my “as soon as possible”…).
What’s your favourite green smoothie?
Enjoy!
- 2 cups coconut water
- 1 large handful of spinach
- 1 ripe banana
- 2 tbsp unsalted almond butter
- 1 tbsp flaxseed
- 1-2 medjool dates (optional)
- generous pinch cinnamon (optional)
- Put all ingredients into a blender, and blend!
Notes
The recipe above is my *fave* combination, but you can make the following substitutions and its still yummy:
Sub almond milk for coconut water
Sub peanut butter for almond butter
Sub chia seed for flax
I like the addition of almond butter Emma, sounds great!
So much goodness in this smoothie! I love adding nut butter to my smoothies as it makes them so much more filling and delicious!
Thanks Miss Kristy!
Almond butter and spinach sounds like a great combo, Emma. Love this and would love to wake up to this delicious looking smoothie. So YUM and full of healthy goodness.
Thanks Anu!
I think the dates actually make a little more unique than the usual smoothie. Looks delicious and perfect for the (finally) warm weather we’re having!
Thanks Liora! I do looooove dates in my smoothies!
