Vegan Green Smoothie
Author:If you love the idea of packing greens into your smoothie but dislike the taste, try this Vegan Green Smoothie! It's stuffed full of healthy ingredients, including spinach, but is creamy, sweet & very delicious!
Ingredients
- 1 medium or large frozen banana
- 2 tablespoons nut or seed butter (I like peanut butter best because its strong flavour hides the spinach flavour well)
- 1 packed cup (1 very large handful) fresh spinach
- 1 cup (240 mls) dairy-free milk
- 1 small pinch fine sea salt
- 1 medjool date , or 1 tablespoon maple syrup
Optional
- 1 tablespoon flax seeds
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
INSTRUCTIONS
- Add all of the smoothie ingredients to a blender.
- Blend until smooth and creamy. Add a little more milk if you prefer a thinner consistency.
- If you aren't sure whether you will need the extra sweetness from the maple syrup/medjool date, make it without first, taste, then add if required, making sure to give the blender a quick blend to incorporate it.
