Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup protein powder (slightly mounded)
- 1/3 large banana
- 4 leaves spinach (stems removed)
- 1 teaspoon peanut butter
- 8 whole frozen strawberries
- 1/3 cup frozen mangos (or berries)
- 1/2 cup water
Instructions
- Add Ingredients to Blender: Add all ingredients to a blender, starting with the protein powder, banana, spinach, peanut butter, frozen strawberries, frozen mango, and water. Blending in this order helps achieve a smoother mix.
- Blend Until Smooth: Process the mixture for about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Use a spatula to scrape down the sides of the blender, then blend again until the smoothie is smooth. Avoid over-blending to prevent excessive foam.
- Serve: Pour the finished smoothie into a 16-oz glass and enjoy immediately for the best taste and texture.
- Clean Blender: Rinse out your blender immediately after use to prevent residue buildup and make cleaning easier.
Notes
- For a thicker smoothie, reduce the water slightly or add more frozen fruit.
- You can substitute frozen berries for the mango if preferred.
- If you want a vegan option, use plant-based protein powder and substitute peanut butter with almond or sunflower seed butter.
- Adding ice cubes is optional but may dilute flavors; use frozen fruit for chill and texture.
