Super Greens Spirulina Smoothie
INGREDIENTS/ MEASUREMENTS
- 1 medium ripe banana (previously peeled and frozen)
- 1/2 cup sliced cucumber (skin on)
- 3/4 – 1 cup coconut milk (or other non-dairy milk, add less for thicker smoothie, more for thinner smoothie)
- 1 cup spinach or chopped kale (frozen)
- 1 pack fresh frozen Spirulina
- 1 Tbsp hemp seed (substitute for chia seeds)
- 1/4 cup frozen or fresh blueberries
- 1/4 cup granola
Instructions
1. To a blender, add frozen banana, cucumber, coconut milk, spinach, spirulina, and hemp seed (optional). Blend until creamy and smooth, scraping down sides as needed.
2. If too thick, thin with water or more coconut milk. If too thin, thicken with ice or more frozen banana. Taste and adjust flavor as needed, adding more banana for sweetness, cucumber for freshness, or greens or another spirulina pack for green color.
3. Serve immediately or top with blueberries, granola, and more hemp seeds. Best when fresh, though leftovers will keep covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days or the freezer for 1 week. Thaw to enjoy from the freezer.
