Ingredients

Scale

Smoothie Ingredients

  • 1/2 small to medium avocado, peeled
  • 1 cup fresh spinach or 1/2 cup frozen spinach
  • 1 fresh or frozen banana, peeled and cut into chunks (optional)
  • 1/4 cup frozen mango or pineapple chunks
  • 1 tablespoon raw hemp seeds
  • 1 teaspoon maca powder
  • 1 scoop protein powder (optional)
  • 1 cup unsweetened nut milk, plus more if needed to thin

For Serving

  • Frozen or fresh berries
  • Granola


Instructions

  1. Prepare Freezer Bag: Fill a sandwich-size freezer bag with avocado, spinach, banana, mango, hemp seeds, maca powder, and protein powder if using. Seal the bag tightly and store it in the freezer for up to 3 months to keep ingredients fresh and ready to blend.
  2. Blend Smoothie: When ready to enjoy, empty the contents of the smoothie bag into a blender. Add 1 cup of unsweetened nut milk. Blend on high speed until smooth, adding additional nut milk as needed to reach your desired consistency.
  3. Serve: Pour the smoothie into a glass and top with frozen or fresh berries and granola for added texture and flavor. Enjoy immediately for a refreshing and healthy boost.

Notes

  • Freezing the smoothie ingredients ahead of time saves preparation effort and keeps produce fresh for months.
  • You can omit the banana or protein powder if you prefer a lighter smoothie.
  • Use any unsweetened nut milk such as almond, cashew, or oat milk based on your preference.
  • Add more nut milk gradually to adjust smoothie thickness to your liking.
  • For an extra nutrient boost, try adding chia seeds or flaxseeds alongside the hemp seeds.
  • The smoothie is best enjoyed fresh after blending to preserve nutrients and taste.
