Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Gather all your ingredients for the Energy Boosting Green Smoothie. Start by measuring out 2-3 cups of fresh spinach, ½ cup of frozen bananas, and ½ cup of blueberries. Ensure the spinach leaves are clean and dry, then peel the bananas if they are fresh.
  2. In a high-speed blender, combine the prepared spinach, frozen bananas, and blueberries. Pour in about 1 cup of water or your preferred non-dairy milk. Blend on medium-high speed for about 30 seconds, or until well combined.
  3. Add 1 tablespoon of spirulina, 1 tablespoon of chia seeds, and 2 tablespoons of almond butter to the blender. If you're including collagen protein powder, toss that in as well. Blend again on high for another 30-45 seconds until all ingredients are seamlessly mixed.
  4. Check the consistency of your smoothie. If you prefer a thinner texture, add more water or non-dairy milk until desired smoothness is reached.
  5. Pour the smoothie into a tall glass. Optionally, sprinkle some chia seeds on top for garnish. Best served immediately.
