This smoothie is very easy to make, low sugar, high fiber and surprisingly you can't taste the spinach(or baby kale) at all! Django the cat approves, although he doesn't like the sound the blender makes. The recipe is quite adaptable to whatever berry you have in the freezer (it's winter in CT) and it's a great way to get your greens in without having to eat a salad. I like salad, but am just not in the mood for it every day. I know, shame on me!
Banana-Berry-Spinach Smoothie
- 1 ripe banana
- 1 handful organic baby spinach or baby kale
- 2 T raw almond butter
- pinch Himalayan Pink Salt
- 1/2 - 2/3 cup of almond milk
- 1/2 cup frozen berries
- optional: 1/4 cup finely chopped red cabbage (trust me, you won't taste it!)
Directions: roughly cut the banana and the berries if they happen to be large. Don't forget to blend for close to 60 seconds, it's longer than you think! I sometimes wear earplugs.
