Description

This almond milk berry smoothie is filled with nutrient-dense ingredients that come together to create a tasty, creamy, healthy shake. And, the best part... it's refined sugar free. 


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 cups of almond milk
  • 2 teaspoons of ground flaxseed
  • 4 tablespoons of almond butter
  • 2 cups of frozen spinach
  • 1.5 cups frozen raspberries
  • 1 frozen banana
  • 1 cup ice cubes

Instructions

  • Add the ingredients to your blender in the following order: almond milk, ground flaxseed, almond butter, frozen spinach, frozen raspberries, frozen banana, ice.
  • Blend on high for 30-45 seconds. This will vary based on the blender you use. So, continue blending until you reach your desired consistency.


Notes

  • Use the brownest bananas you can: Bananas that are super ripe are naturally sweet, which means you won't need to add any extra sweetening to your shake.
  • The order of ingredients in your blender affects the final consistency of your smoothie. If you want a delicious, creamy, frothy shake, you need to understand when to add each ingredient. I put together an infographic to take the guesswork out of this. Feel free to save, pin or print this guide so you have it handy next time you’re making a smoothie.
