Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup (60g) frozen avocado chunks
- 1 tbsp (12g) chia seeds
- 1 tbsp (16g) almond butter
- 1 cup (150g) frozen blueberries
- 1 cup (30g) fresh baby spinach
- 1/2 cup (60g) frozen cauliflower rice
- 1 cup (240ml) unsweetened almond milk
- 1 scoop (30g) vanilla pea protein or whey isolate
- 1/2 tsp (2.5ml) pure vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Strategically layer the ingredients in the blender: start with almond milk, vanilla extract, and protein powder, followed by chia seeds, almond butter, and spinach, and finish with frozen fruits (blueberries, cauliflower rice) and avocado on top.
- Start the blender on the lowest setting and quickly ramp up to high. Blend for 45–60 seconds until the mixture is a deep purple color and no spinach specks remain.
- Calibrate the texture: add almond milk one tablespoon at a time if too thick, or add 2-3 ice cubes and pulse if a thicker smoothie bowl consistency is desired.
