  • Total Time: 12 minutes
  • Yield: 1 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup full-fat coconut milk
  • 1 frozen banana, broken into chunks
  • 1/2 cup frozen strawberries or your choice of frozen berries
  • 1 tablespoons peanut butter (or your choice of nut or seed butter)
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder (you can use up to 23 tablespoons for extra chocolate flavor)
  • 2 scoops unsweetened protein powder
  • 1 handful baby spinach
  • 2 pitted dates

Instructions

  1. In the base of a high-speed blender, combine the coconut milk, banana, strawberries, peanut butter, cocoa powder, protein powder, spinach, and dates.
  2. Blend on high for about 30 seconds, or until the smoothie is fully blended.
  3. Serve immediately.

Notes

  1. If you aren’t on a vegan diet, you can replace the coconut milk with full-fat dairy milk.
  2. To make this recipe vegan, be sure to use a vegan protein powder like pea protein.
  3. If you don’t have a high-speed blender, you may need to stop the blender and scrape down the sides to ensure that the ingredients get fully blended.
  4. To make this vanilla-flavored instead of chocolate, leave out the cocoa powder and add ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract instead.
