Ingredients

3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk plus additional as needed
2 ounces (about 2 big handfuls) fresh spinach or roughly chopped kale leaves
1/2 medium banana cut into chunks and frozen
1/2 cup frozen mango chunks or pineapple chunks
1 tablespoon nut butter of choice I like almond butter or peanut butter
Ice optional
Optional Mix-Ins: 1/2 scoop protein powder 1 tablespoon chia seeds, 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal

Instructions

Place all of the ingredients in the blender in the order listed: almond milk, spinach, banana, mango, nut butter, and any extra mix-ins.
Blend until smooth. If you'd like it a bit thicker, add in a few ice cubes and blend again. Pour and enjoy!

Notes

If you are not using a high-powered blender such as a Vitamix, I recommend blending the spinach and almond milk first, then blending in the banana, then blending in the mango, nut butter, and any additional mix-ins.
