Ingredients

1 ripe banana frozen
1 cup spinach leaves
½ cup kale leaves chopped
½ cup cucumber chopped
½ cup frozen pineapple chunks
1 tablespoon chia seeds or flax seeds
1 tablespoon hemp seeds
1 scoop vegan protein powder about 20-25g, such as pea protein or hemp protein
1 cup unsweetened almond milk or any plant-based milk
½ lemon juiced, optional for added freshness
ice cubes optional, for a colder smoothie

Instructions

If you haven't already frozen your banana, peel it and slice it into chunks. Freeze for at least 1 hour before making the smoothie.
In a blender, combine the frozen banana chunks, spinach leaves, kale leaves, chopped cucumber, frozen pineapple chunks, chia seeds (or flax seeds), hemp seeds, vegan protein powder, almond milk, and lemon juice (if using). If desired, add a handful of ice cubes for a colder smoothie.
Blend on high speed until smooth and creamy. If the consistency is too thick, add a little more almond milk. If it's too thin, add a few more ice cubes or frozen fruit.
Blend again until well combined and the desired consistency is reached.
Pour the smoothie into glasses and enjoy immediately for optimal freshness and nutrition.

Notes

Freeze banana chunks at least 1 hour ahead for the best texture. Adjust consistency by adding more almond milk if too thick, or more ice/frozen fruit if too thin. Best enjoyed immediately for optimal freshness and nutrition.
