Ingredients
- 1¼ cups unsweetened almond milk
- 1 handful raw spinach anywhere from ½ - 1 cup
- ½ - 1 avocado use frozen, if desired
- ½ frozen banana cut into chunks
- 1 scoop collagen peptides
- 1 tablespoon ground flax meal
- 1 teaspoon lime juice
- pinch kosher salt
- ½ cup frozen pineapple optional
Instructions
- Blend: In a high-speed blender, add 1¼ cups unsweetened almond milk, 1 handful raw spinach, ½ - 1 avocado, ½ frozen banana, 1 scoop collagen peptides, 1 tablespoon ground flax meal, 1 teaspoon lime juice, a pinch kosher salt, and ½ cup frozen pineapple (if using). Blend on high until fully combined, about 1-2 minutes, scraping down sides if necessary.
- Adjust: Taste and make any flavor adjustment, as desired.
- Serve: Pour and enjoy!
Notes
- Consistency: option to use more almond milk to thin it out or toss in ice if you are using fresh (not frozen) ingredients to thicken it up a bit.
- Sweetness: we really love adding a touch of sweetness by tossing in some pineapple!
- Chill: If you didn't use frozen avocados, then you will want to place in the fridge to allow it to cool down - drinking it cold is better.
- Almond Milk: start with 1 1/4 cup and add more depending upon how you like the consistency of your smoothies. You can really use any kind of dairy-free milk here - coconut milk can be used to if you want things extra thick and creamy. Learn how to make almond milk!
- Ice: if you don't have frozen fruit on hand, then I would also recommend adding in a couple ice cubes when blending!
- Pineapple: without the pineapple this smoothie is not very sweet (just warning you). It definitely tastes like avocado (duh, its an avocado smoothie). So if you taste it and it just isn't doing it for you or it wasn't what you expected, I would toss in some pineapple! So good either way, in my opinion!

- Spinach: feel free to use as much of that spinach as you want!
