1 cup frozen blueberries

½ frozen banana

1 pitted Medjool date, chopped

¼ cup chopped spinach

1 Tablespoon almond butter

Pinch of flaky sea salt

Instructions 

Smoothie Cups

• Place all of the smoothie ingredients into a freezer-safe, airtight container. (I used a mason jar, but you could use Stasher bags or freezer bags.)

• When ready to enjoy, fill the mason jar with milk (or add milk to your blender) and dump the ingredients into your blender.

• Blend until smooth, adding additional milk if needed. If you have trouble removing the contents from the jar after freezing, run a utensil around the edge to release everything

• Pour into glass, top with fresh blueberries and enjoy!

Enjoy Right Away

• Put all of the ingredients into a blender and blend well. Top with additional blueberries & enjoy. PS: I recommend using frozen blueberries and banana if you’re making it to enjoy right away.

*Lacking protein big time here ladies, so be sure to add in at least 1-2 serves of protein powder in this mixture, you may need to add more liquid to avoid it getting thick and yuck.
