1/2 cup mixed berries (frozen or fresh)
1 tbsp chia seeds
2 tbsp almond butter or peanut butter
1 scoop plant-based protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
1 tsp fresh lemon juice
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
Add frozen banana to the blender first for optimal texture
Layer fresh spinach and berries on top
Sprinkle chia seeds evenly over the fruit
Drizzle nut butter down the side of the blender

Blend on high until completely smooth (2-3 minutes)
Pause to scrape down the sides if needed

Notes
For extra creaminess, use frozen avocado instead of banana
Tahini can replace nut butter for a different flavor profile
