Ingredients

Makes 3 Servings


  • 1 1/2 c (222 g) frozen blueberries
  • 1 c (150 g) frozen raspberries
  • 2 overripe bananas, sliced, frozen or room temperature
  • 2 c (60 g) baby spinach leaves
  • 1 tbsp (15 mL) orange juice
  • 3 tbsp (47 g) vegan vanilla protein powder
  • 1 1/6 c (275 mL) water or nondairy milk (for a creamy texture)
  • 1/2 c (75 g) seasonal fruit, such as sliced kiwi, sliced strawberries, chopped pear, or clementine segments
  • chia seeds
  • coconut flakes

Directions

  1. In a blender, combine the blueberries, raspberries, 1 banana, spinach, juice, protein powder (if using), and 1 c (240 mL) of the water or milk, and puree.



  2. Add the remaining water or milk, 1 tbsp (15 mL) at a time if needed to thin, but only add as much as is needed to be able to blend so that the mixture stays very thick.



  3. Divide among 3 bowls and top with the remaining banana, strawberries, or any seasonal fruit, and, if using, coconut flakes and chia seeds.
