Serves: 1 serving
Ingredients
- 1 banana
- 1 tablespoon sunbutter
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1 cup spinach
- 1 cup almond milk
Instructions
- Start by gathering all your ingredients: 1 ripe banana, 1 tablespoon of sunbutter, 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder, 1 cup of fresh spinach, and 1 cup of almond milk.
- Peel the banana and break it into smaller pieces. This will make it easier for the blender to mix.
- In a blender, add the banana pieces, 1 tablespoon of sunbutter, and 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder. The sunbutter will add a creamy texture and a nutty flavor, while the cocoa powder will give the smoothie a rich chocolate taste.
- Next, add 1 cup of fresh spinach to the blender. Spinach is packed with nutrients and will blend well into the smoothie without altering the flavor significantly.
- Pour in 1 cup of almond milk. This will help to blend all the ingredients smoothly and create a drinkable consistency. You can adjust the amount of almond milk based on your preferred thickness.
- Secure the lid on the blender and blend on high speed until all the ingredients are well combined and the smoothie is smooth and creamy. This should take about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
- Once blended, check the consistency. If it’s too thick, you can add a little more almond milk and blend again until you reach your desired consistency.
- Pour the smoothie into a glass. You can garnish it with a sprinkle of cocoa powder or a few spinach leaves if desired for a decorative touch.
- Enjoy your delicious and nutritious Chocolate Sunbutter Green Smoothie immediately as a quick breakfast or snack!
