OUR GO-TO smoothie for summer!

By now you’ve probably seen me post about this smoothie all over my instagram stories and that’s because it’s SO dang good. Once you make it you’re gonna want to post/share about it too! Quick backstory to what started this obsession with perfecting a green smoothie recipe - A few months ago we found this INCREDIBLE smoothie place in Nashville, and it started to become very dangerous how much $$ we were spending there on a weekly basis. Now flash forward to countless attempts to make the perfect green smoothie and HERE WE ARE FRIENDS, and because so many of y’all have been popping into my DMs asking for the recipe of course I had to share!

STEP 1

For our first BLEND - start with 1.5 cups of almond milk, around 1 cup of kale, 2 frozen bananas, & 4 dates

You can use any kind of milk or milk substitute for this recipe. Whatever you choose may change the taste just a little though - We’ve been using the Almond Breeze Unsweetened Original Almond Milk but we ran out (lol), so I used the Califia Farms Barista Blend Almond Milk.

Make sure your bananas are frozen for this recipe! This is very important for texture & so that your smoothie isn’t room temperature. We always cut up our bananas and put them in some kind of Tupperware then place them in the freezer.

Do NOT skip out on the dates (unless you are allergic of course). These are a natural sweetener to your smoothie and again help with texture. Also they taste amazing and you’re gonna want them I promise!

After all of the ingredients are added to your blender you’re going to BLEND it all up.

STEP 2

Once you’ve got that blended up you’re going to add…

4 Tbs of PB2 Powder (peanut butter powder)
4 Tbs of food processed raw cashews
1 Tbs of Chia Seeds - high in protein, fiber, and antioxidants
1Tbs of Hemp Hearts - great for lowering blood pressure + reduce risk of heart disease
1 Tbs of Flaxseed meal - high in Omega 3 & rich in dietary fiber
BLEND IT ALL UP & ENJOY!
I hope y’all love this recipe as much as Jwoz and I do! If you end up trying it be sure to share and tag me @bychloewen so I can see :)
