Recipe type: green smoothie

Serves: 1

Ingredients

• 1 c water or milk of choice {or ½ c water and ½ c milk}
• 1 c spinach
• ½ banana {i use frozen banana, peel removed}
• ¼-1/2 c walnuts
• 2 tbsp cinnamon
• ice
• optional: 1 scoop whey, hemp or vegan protein of choice
• optional: 1 tbsp nut butter

Instructions

1. blend all ingredients together until you get desired consistency for drinking. {i add extra ice as i personally love mine freezing cold}.
2. feel free to add additional health superfoods to your green smoothie if you have them on hand as well {aloe, 1 tsp bee pollen, 1 tsp cod liver oil, 1 tsp spirinula, 1 tbsp maca, 1 tsp matcha and more}.

Notes

*not all ingredients are required to make the 'perfect' smoothie {there is no such thing as the perfect smoothie in my world} use what you have on hand and play around with the ingredients/additions until you find what tickles your tastebuds.
**i like to double the ingredients and make 2-3 green smoothies at a time. i pour the leftovers into mason jars and freeze. i let thaw in my fridge overnight so i can grab and go in the morning.
