St. Patrick’s Day Dairy-Free Green Smoothie
Ingredients:
• 1 large banana, frozen
• 1/2 cup pineapple chunks, frozen
• 1 large handful of fresh spinach leaves (or kale for a bolder green color)
• 1/2 avocado
• 1 scoop of The Roasted Purpose Gourmet Vanilla Protein
• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any other dairy-free milk of your choice)
• A few mint leaves (for a fresh flavor)
• Ice cubes (optional, depending on desired thickness)
Instructions:
1. Prepare Ingredients: If you haven’t done so already, peel and freeze the banana ahead of time. It adds natural sweetness and a creamy texture to the smoothie.
2. Blend Greens: Add the spinach (or kale) and water to the blender. Blend until the greens are thoroughly pureed. This step ensures no leafy chunks in your smoothie.
3. Add Fruits and Protein Powder: Add the frozen banana, pineapple chunks, avocado, and a scoop of The Roasted Purpose Gourmet Vanilla Protein to the blender.
4. Blend Everything: Blend on high until smooth and creamy. If the smoothie is too thick, add a bit more water to reach your desired consistency.
5. Serve: Pour the smoothie into a glass and, if desired, garnish with chia seeds, hemp seeds, or sliced fruit for an extra nutritional punch.
6. Enjoy: Your St. Patrick’s Day green smoothie is ready! Enjoy it as a healthy breakfast, snack, or festive treat on this special day.
Happy St. Patricks Day!
