Equipment
- Blender
Ingredients
- 6 ounces coconut milk
- 1 serving vanilla protein powder
- ΒΌ teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons chlorella powder
- 1 tablespoon collagen
- 1 tablespoon peanut butter
- 2 handfuls organic baby spinach
- 1 medium frozen banana
- 6 ice cubes
Instructions
- Add the Liquid and Dry Ingredients. Take out your blender and add in the coconut milk, followed by the protein powder, cinnamon, collagen, chlorella powder, and then top with peanut butter.
- Add the Fresh and Frozen Ingredients. Next, take two large handfuls of organic baby spinach and add to the blender. Follow that with the frozen banana and ice cubes.
- Blend. Place the lid on top of the container and begin to blend. My blender has a smoothie setting but if yours does not blend on medium for about 20 seconds and high for another 30 seconds. The final consistency should be smooth and creamy.
- Pour and enjoy. Remove the lid from the blender and pour the smoothie into one large glass that can hold about 12 ounces or pour into two separate cups and enjoy!
Notes
- When adding ingredients to a blender, I always follow the acronym LDFF. That stands for liquid, dry, fresh, and frozen. This is the order in which to add ingredients to the blender starting with the blade at the bottom. By stacking the ingredients in this order and having the liquid and dry ingredients closest to the blade allows for a smoother consistency.
- Make cleanup a breeze! Add in a dash of dish soap and fill up the blender halfway with hot water. Place the blender lid on top of the blender and blend at a high speed for 30 seconds. Pour out the water and rise with hot water to get any remaining sections clean. Voila! No dishwasher needed.
