Chia Peanut Butter Banana Green Smoothie
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 3/4 cup toasted coconut almond milk blend (I use Califia) or unsweetened unflavored oat milk (I use Silk) divided
- 2 cups lightly packed fresh baby spinach
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups very ripe frozen banana slices
- 1 cup diced refrigerated fresh zucchini
- 2 tablespoons salted natural peanut butter (no added oil or sugar)
- 2 tablespoons pure pea protein powder
- 2 tablespoons hemp hearts
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- In a mason jar or glass, mix the chia seeds and 1/2 cup of the milk. Let the mixture thicken in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. If you're low on time, skip the soaking step and simply blend everything together.
- Blend the chia mixture with the spinach, vanilla, and remaining 1/4 cup milk.
- Add the remaining ingredients, then blend until smooth.
