Servings 1

Ingredients

  • 1 cup plant-based milk (or water)
  • 1 small banana (or a handful of chopped mango and 1 or 2 pitted Medjool dates)
  • 1 cup fresh dark leafy greens (or 1/2 cup frozen spinach, kale, swiss chard or collard greens)
  • 1 cup frozen fruit (blueberries, strawberries, mixed berries, cherries, pineapple, etc.)
  • 1 Tbsp. nuts or seeds (hemp seeds, flax seeds, chia seeds, pumpkin seeds, walnuts, almonds, etc.)

Instructions

  • Place ingredients into a high-powered blender in the order they are listed.
  • Begin blending on lowest setting and slowly turn up to highest setting.
  • Blend on high for approximately 30 seconds.
  • Serve immediately.

Notes

Flax seeds and chia seeds can act as a thickening agent, so you may wish to use slightly less than a tablespoon when adding these ingredients to your smoothie – unless you prefer thicker smoothies.
Note: Nutrition information is a rough estimate for special dietary needs. I subscribe to the theories presented in the book Whole and believe we should focus on eating a variety of whole foods instead of counting calories or keeping track of individual nutrients.
