Smoothies are one of my favorite ways to enjoy breakfast, and as a perk, it's a great food preparation method to pack as many nutrients into one meal as possible! I love eating whole fruits, but veggies are lower on my favorites list unless in salad form. This green smoothie is packed with 2 whole cups of baby spinach, something my son hasn't quite acquired a taste for yet which helps me get more of what he needs into his diet too! Adding oats helps thicken while adding fiber too ☺️ I hope you will get a chance to try this out soon, it's delicious, healthy and refreshing! You will need: For the smoothie 🍓🍹🌱: 1 rounded scoop Orgain Vanilla Bean protein (or other alternative) 1/4 cup raw oats (I like Bob's Red Mill Extra Thick Cut) 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk 2 cups baby spinach🍃 1/2 cup ice cubes ❄️ 1 small banana 🍌 1 ripe nectarine 🍑 Toppings: 1/4 cup fresh blueberries 1/4 fresh strawberries, sliced 🍓 1 tbsp shredded coconut 1 tsp chia seeds Putting it all together: Blend all smoothie ingredients on high in the blender, until smooth with no lumps. Pour into two bowls, then divide toppings between the two smoothies. Bust out a spoon and dig in! 🍽 Switching the straw out for a spoon once in a while is a nice change of pace, and can be done with any smoothie! I've also put together a video tutorial with step-by-step slides of how to make this recipe! 🌎 See MFP nutritional info below👇
