Not only is this smoothie delicious but it’s high in protein. Just what you need in the weeks leading to your menstral cycle. I highly recommend this smoothie, post workout, when you know your menstral cycle is about to kick into high gear. It will keep your energy level balanced and help boost post workout muscle repair and reduce lean muscle loss.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups almond milk, unsweetened (or other milk of choice)
- 2 medium bananas, peeled + frozen (if possible)
- 3/4 cup avocado, frozen (if possible)
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 4 Tbsp raw cacao powder
- 2 Tbsp hemp seeds
- 2 Tbsp creamy almond butter, unsweetened
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 5 ice cubes (if needed)
- Optional: 2 scoops of protein powder and 1 scoop of collagen protein peptide (if desired)
Instructions:
- Place all ingredients into a high speed blender, making sure to add the almond milk first (this helps with blending).
- Blend on high for about 2 minutes, or until smooth and creamy. If the smoothie is too thick, simply add a bit more almond milk until it reaches your desired consistency!
- Enjoy immediately or store for later!
