Super Green Spirulina Smoothie (5 Ingredients!)
Health Highlights
A nutritious and vibrant green smoothie with 5 ingredients: banana, cucumber, coconut milk, spirulina, and spinach! The perfect plant-based breakfast or snack.

Ingredients


1 medium Banana (s) (medium ripe; if previously peeled and frozen ~1 cup)
1/2 cup Cucumber (sliced; organic when possible; skin on)
3/4 cup Coconut milk, sweetened (light; can use other non-dairy alternative; use less for thicker smoothie, more for thinner smoothie)
1 cup Spinach (chopped; organic when possible. I like to freeze mine)
1 tsp Spirulina powder

Instructions


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. (You can also use a smoothie wand or immersion blender for this)

2. If too thick, thin with water or more coconut milk. If too thin, thicken with ice or more frozen banana. Taste and adjust flavour as needed, adding more banana for sweetness, cucumber for freshness, or greens / spirulina for green color. 

3. Serve immediately as. Or, my preferred way: top with blueberries, granola, and more hemp seeds. Best when fresh, though leftovers will keep well if covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days or in the freezer for 1 week. Thaw to enjoy from freezer.
