In this protein-packed smoothie, you’ll find a variety of full-fat ingredients that will keep you feeling satisfied until lunchtime. The combination of vanilla extract and plant-based milk provides a rich, sweet taste that is sure to satisfy your taste buds. The avocado provides plenty of healthy fats for the body (and it tastes pretty good too!). You’ll also find almond butter in this recipe which adds a lot of protein and healthy fats to the mix as well as antioxidants from the dates.

Side note: If you don't layer your smoothies with granola then are you really living???

I am also obsessed with these Weck Jars. They are so perfect as a smoothie vessel, they are glass, and really sturdy, and I love that I can clearly see the layers of the smoothie inside!

Not only is it packed with protein, but it also contains natural ingredients like spinach and avocado that are full of vitamins and minerals.

Lean Green Vanilla Protein Smoothie

Yield: 1 Serving

I've got the perfect summer smoothie for you! It is packed with greens, healthy fats, protein and vanilla goodness.

Ingredients

• 1 cup frozen avocado cubes — You can get these at Costco, Sprouts and pretty much anywhere now a days. Or you can also purchase avocados & freeze them yourself. They make a smoothie so creamy!
• 1 cup fresh spinach
• 1 frozen banana — Preferably really ripe, the riper the banana the sweeter the smoothie
• 2 tablespoons almond butter — I always use Abby's Better Almond Butter (use the code RECIPES4HEALTH for 20% off your order)
• 1 date, pitted
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract or vanilla beans
• 1/4 teaspoon pink salt (don't skip this step)
• 1/2 cup - 1 cup any milk/plant based milk of choice

Instructions

1. Blend all of the ingredients in a high powered blender on low, then slowly turn to high power for about 60 seconds until smooth and creamy. Be sure to add more liquid if needed. I prefer to begin with less liquid, then work my way little by little as I like my smoothies more creamy!
2. Serve with your favorite granola, some shredded coconut and any other smoothie toppings of choice!
