Protein Smoothie with Spinach, Banana and Peanut Butter

Ingredients

• Whey protein powder 1 scoop
• Spinach 1 cup
• Banana 1 medium
• Natural peanut butter 1 tbsp
• Unsweetened almond milk 1 cup

Method

1. Prepare the ingredients. Gather all your ingredients: 1 scoop of whey protein powder, 1 cup of fresh spinach, 1 medium banana, 1 tablespoon of natural peanut butter, and 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk. Peel the banana and wash the spinach thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt.
   Tip: Make sure the spinach is fresh and crisp for the best flavor and nutrition.
2. Add ingredients to the blender. Place the spinach, peeled banana, whey protein powder, natural peanut butter, and unsweetened almond milk into the blender jar. Adding the liquid first can help the blending process go smoothly.
   Tip: If your blender is small, add ingredients in the order of liquid first, then soft items like banana, followed by greens, and finally the protein powder and peanut butter.
3. Blend until smooth. Secure the blender lid tightly. Blend on high speed for about 30 to 60 seconds, or until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy with no visible chunks of spinach or banana.
   Tip: If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more almond milk (a few tablespoons at a time) and blend again until you reach your desired consistency.
4. Serve immediately. Pour the smoothie into a glass and enjoy immediately for the best taste and texture. This smoothie is a great option for breakfast or a post-workout snack.
   Tip: You can sprinkle a little cinnamon or chia seeds on top for extra flavor and nutrition if you like.

Pro tips

• Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness without adding sugar.
• If you want a colder smoothie, use frozen banana slices or add a few ice cubes before blending.
