Total Time: 10 minutes
Servings: 2
Skill Level: Easy
Ingredients:
- 2 ripe bananas, frozen
- 1 cup fresh spinach
- 1 scoop vegan protein powder
- 1/2 cup plant-based milk (almond, soy, or oat)
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tbsp hemp seeds
- 1 tbsp almond butter
- Handful of mixed nuts (almonds, walnuts, cashews)
- Fresh berries (optional)
- Granola (optional)
Instructions:
- In a high-speed blender, combine frozen bananas, fresh spinach, vegan protein powder, and plant-based milk.
- Blend until smooth and creamy. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides a few times.
- Divide the smoothie mixture into two bowls.
- Top each bowl with chia seeds, hemp seeds, almond butter, mixed nuts, and fresh berries, if using.
- For added texture and flavor, sprinkle some granola on top.

Helpful Tips:
- To make blending easier, cut the bananas into small chunks before freezing.
- Swap out the spinach for kale for an equally nutritious green alternative.
- Add a touch of sweetness with a drizzle of maple syrup or agave nectar if desired.
- If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more plant-based milk until you reach your desired consistency.
Storage Instructions:
- Although best enjoyed fresh, you can prepare the smoothie base ahead of time and store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Just give it a good stir before serving.
Pairings:
This Protein-Packed Vegan Smoothie Bowl pairs beautifully with a side of whole grain toast with avocado or a cup of herbal tea to complement the fresh flavors. For brunch, add a platter of fresh fruit and a homemade nut butter dip to share with the family.
