Ingredients

• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 1 large frozen bananas
• 1 cup fresh spinach
• 2 tablespoons almond butter
• 1 tablespoon chia seeds
• 1 tablespoon raw cacao powder
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened coconut flakes
• 4 pieces ice cubes

Directions

Step 1

Start by adding the unsweetened almond milk to a high-power blender. Use almond milk as it provides a creamy base without any dairy, keeping the recipe Paleo-friendly.

Step 2

Peel and break the large frozen banana into chunks and add them to the blender for a natural sweetness and creamy texture.

Step 3

Add one cup of fresh spinach to the mix. Spinach is a fantastic addition for a green boost without altering the flavor significantly.

Step 4

Spoon in two tablespoons of almond butter. This healthy fat adds extra creaminess and boosts protein levels.

Step 5

Sprinkle in one tablespoon of chia seeds for added fiber and omega-3 fatty acids.

Step 6

Add one tablespoon of raw cacao powder for a natural chocolate flavor and an additional dose of antioxidants.

Step 7

Sprinkle in two tablespoons of unsweetened coconut flakes to enhance flavor and texture.

Step 8

Add four ice cubes for a refreshing chill and to achieve the perfect smoothie consistency.

Step 9

Blend all the ingredients on high speed until smooth and creamy. This should take about 1-2 minutes, depending on your blender's power.

Step 10

Pour the smoothie into a glass and serve immediately for optimal freshness and nutrient preservation.
