Ingredients

Makes 3 Servings

frozen blueberries (1 1/2 c (222 g))

frozen raspberries (1 c (150 g))

overripe bananas, sliced, frozen or room temperature (2)

baby spinach leaves (2 c (60 g))

orange juice (1 tbsp (15 mL))

vegan vanilla protein powder (3 tbsp (47 g))

water or nondairy milk (for a creamy texture) (1 1/6 c (275 mL))

seasonal fruit, such as sliced kiwi, sliced strawberries, chopped pear, or clementine segments (1/2 c (75 g))

chia seeds ()

coconut flakes ()

Directions

In a blender, combine the blueberries, raspberries, 1 banana, spinach, juice, protein powder (if using), and 1 c (240 mL) of the water or milk, and puree.
Add the remaining water or milk, 1 tbsp (15 mL) at a time if needed to thin, but only add as much as is needed to be able to blend so that the mixture stays very thick.
Divide among 3 bowls and top with the remaining banana, strawberries, or any seasonal fruit, and, if using, coconut flakes and chia seeds.
