Super Green Spirulina Smoothie

A nutritious and vibrant green smoothie with 5 ingredients: banana, cucumber, coconut milk, spirulina, and spinach

 

Servings: 1x500ml Smoothie

Total Time: 5 minutes

 

Ingredients: 

  • 1 medium ripe banana that’s been frozen
  • 1/2 cup sliced cucumber
  • 3/4 – 1 cup light coconut milk
  • 1 cup spinach or chopped kale
  • 1 tsp spirulina powder
  • 1Tbsp hemp seed

 

Method:

  1. To a blender*, add frozen banana, cucumber, coconut milk, spinach, spirulina, and hemp seed (optional). Blend until creamy and smooth, scraping down sides as needed.
  2. If too thick, thin with water or more coconut milk. If too thin, thicken with ice or more frozen bananas. Taste and adjust flavor as needed, adding more banana for sweetness, cucumber for freshness, or greens or spirulina for green color.
  3. Serve immediately as is or in my preferred: top with blueberries, granola, and more hemp seeds. Best when fresh, though leftovers will keep covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days or the freezer for 1 week. Thaw to enjoy from the freezer.
