→ Smoothie Base

01 - 2 cups fresh spinach leaves, washed
02 - 1 frozen banana, sliced
03 - 1/2 cup frozen mango chunks
04 - 1/2 cup frozen pineapple chunks
05 - 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)

# Directions:

01 - In a high-speed blender, combine spinach, frozen banana, frozen mango, frozen pineapple, almond milk, chia seeds, nut butter, and honey or maple syrup. Blend on high until smooth and creamy. If the mixture is too thick, add a little more almond milk to reach your desired consistency.

# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • Its like eating ice cream for breakfast but with actual nutrition powering you through the morning
  • The frozen fruit makes it ridiculously creamy without any dairy or added sugars
02 -
  • Frozen fruit is not optional here because ice creates a weird texture and water messes up the flavor
  • If your blender is struggling, add just a splash more milk and let it sit for a minute before blending again
03 -
  • Preportion your frozen fruit into bags on Sunday so you can just dump and blend on busy mornings
  • Use frozen bananas that are fully ripe with brown spots for the best natural sweetness
