Ingredients
- 2 cups nondairy milk
- 1 frozen banana (remove the peel, cut into 1-inch slices, and freeze in a plastic bag overnight)
- 1 cup of frozen berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and/or blackberries, etc)
- 1 scoop rice protein powder (soy or hemp work well)
- Greens: spinach has the mildest flavor and for a beginner, I would recommend starting with 1/2 cup. As you become used to the taste, you can increase to 1 - 2 cups or try other greens like kale, chard, or collards.
Preparation
Step 1
Blend milk and greens for 15 seconds - 1 minute (depending on your blender) on high. Then add your fruits and blend for 15 - 30 seconds. Add the protein powder and blend another 15 - 30 seconds.
Once you master the basic recipe, it's time for an upgrade. The great thing about smoothies is that it's pretty hard to mess them up. If you put in too many greens, just increase your liquid ratio. If your smoothie isn't sweet enough, just add a little more fruit. Experimentation is your friend.
I like to add extra supplements to my smoothies and I have a variety of things that I use. You can pick and choose depending on your taste buds and nutritional needs.
