½ large ripe banana, sliced into 1-inch chunks and frozen
2 tbsp vanilla protein powder, optional**
TOPPINGS
Assortment of fresh fruit
One Degree Organic Foods Sprouted Brown Rice Cacao Crisps
Shredded coconut
Instructions
In a high-powered blender, add the smoothie ingredients as follows: coconut water and spinach closest to the blade and frozen fruit farthest from the blade. If using protein powder, sandwich it between the spinach and fruit. Blend until completely smooth and divide between 2 bowls.
Top as desired with fresh fruit, something crunchy like Brown Rice Cacao Crisps, shredded coconut and the like. Enjoy immediately.
Notes
*if frozen papaya is not available, frozen mango, peaches, or pineapple will work just as well **for those that can still taste the spinach, vanilla protein powder will completely mask all that flavour. I use Vega Protein & Greens vanilla protein powder.
