Morning smoothie

This is my go-to breakfast on busy mornings. Unlike a fruit-only smoothie, it has protein, healthy fat and fiber, which help keep you full and your energy steady until lunch.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice
  • 1 big handful of spinach
  • 1/2 frozen banana
  • 1/2 cup frozen berries
  • 1 tablespoon almond butter or peanut butter
  • 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed or chia seeds
  • 1 scoop protein powder or 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt

Preparation:

  • Add the milk to the blender first, then the spinach, then everything else.
  • Blend 45–60 seconds, until completely smooth.
  • Add a splash more milk if you like it thinner, and enjoy right away.
