This is my favorite green smoothie recipe.
1 frozen banana
2 C fresh spinach
1 T. chia seeds (or sometimes I use ground flax)
1 serving chocolate protein powder (Sunwarrior is excellent. Vitacost.com is cheaper than stores)
1 T . almond butter
1 C almond milk
a scoop of cubed ice
Blend well in a blender (I use my Ninja. Oh, how I wish I had a vitamix...someday.)
If you drink this all, its about 450 cal. It's a great after workout shake, to give your body some extra protein and natural sugar for energy.
