Print Recipe
Prep Time 2 minutes
Course Smoothie

Ingredients
  

  • 1 & 1/3 cup Rolled Oats
  • 4 tablespoons Flaxseeds Use Ground Flaxseeds if you don’t have a powerful blender OR Cashew Nuts
  • 5 oz Frozen Spinach 140 grams (About 3 cubes or about 1 cup of fresh spinach) OR if you run out of fresh greens, add 2 scoops of Amazing Green Powder for an extra healthy green boost.
  • 3 small Bananas Frozen bananas will keep the smoothie cool.
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 2 & 1/2 cups Water

Instructions
 

  • Blend the ingredients in the order listed.
  • If you are making a green smoothie blend the greens and liquid first and then blend the rest of the ingredients. This creates more space in your blender.
  • Add more water if required to thin it out.
  • Substitute any of the ingredients for whatever you already have.
  • If your smoothie is too warm, you can cool it down in the fridge or freeze some of your ingredients before blending.
  • You can also replace half of the liquids with ice. Add the ice at the end. It is better to add frozen ingredients at the end to cool the smoothie down.

Notes

This smoothie serves 2 but if you have an active job, do work outs or have higher calorie requirements you may need to drink both servings.
