So healthy, this smoothie is like a salad in a glass! But no one will know.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups almond milk
  • 1 Tbsp organic almond butter (or a handful of soaked almonds)
  • 3-4 Tbsp maple syrup
  • 1/4 tsp Maca powder
  • 1/8 tsp turmeric powder
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 2 Tbsp hemp seed
  • 1 avocado
  • 1 organic banana
  • 1.5 cups organic baby spinach (washed)
  • 3/4 cup beets peeled
  • 1/2 cup organic blueberries or look for wild/unsprayed blueberries

Instructions

  1. This will make 2 large portions (i.e., meal replacement) or 3 or 4 portions.
  2. Simply put all the ingredients (in order) in the larger Vitamix container (not the one for smoothie as it wouldn't be big enough), and select the Smoothie + setting. Stop once the texture is smooth and creamy. Add a bit more almond milk if it's too thick.
