Smoothie Bowl with Protein Powder, Spinach, and Berries

Ingredients

• whey protein powder 1 scoop
• spinach 1 cup
• mixed berries 1 cup
• banana 0.5 medium
• almond milk 1 cup
• flaxseeds 1 tablespoon

Method

1. Prepare Ingredients. Gather all your ingredients on the counter. If using frozen berries, you can use them directly or let them thaw slightly for easier blending. Peel half a banana and measure out the spinach, protein powder, almond milk, and flaxseeds.
   Tip: Using ripe banana adds natural sweetness and creaminess.
2. Add Ingredients to Blender. Place the spinach, mixed berries, half banana, scoop of whey protein powder, ground flaxseeds, and almond milk into your blender jar.
   Tip: Add liquids first to help the blades move smoothly.
3. Blend Until Smooth. Secure the lid on the blender and blend on high speed for about 30-60 seconds, or until the mixture is smooth and creamy with no large chunks.
   Tip: If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash more almond milk and blend again.
4. Pour and Serve. Pour the smoothie into a bowl. You can top it with extra berries, sliced banana, a sprinkle of flaxseeds, or nuts if you like for added texture and nutrition.
   Tip: Use a spoon to enjoy your smoothie bowl and savor the creamy texture.

Pro tips

• Use frozen berries to make the smoothie bowl thicker and colder without needing ice.
• Grinding flaxseeds just before adding them preserves their nutrients and improves digestion.
