Ingredients

Makes 3 Servings

frozen blueberries (1 1/2 cups)

frozen raspberries (1 cup)

sliced frozen or room-temperate overripe banana (1 cup)

baby spinach leaves (2 cups)

orange juice (1 tbsp.)

vegan vanilla protein powder (2-3 tbsp.)

water or nondairy milk (for a creamy texture) (1 cup + 2-3 tbsp.)

sliced ripe banana (1/2 cup)

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

chia seeds (to taste)

coconut flakes (to taste)

Directions

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