Ingredients
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (whey or plant-based, depending on your preference)
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
- 1/2 frozen banana (adds creaminess and natural sweetness)
- 1/2 cup spinach (loaded with vitamins and minerals, but you won’t taste it!)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (for fiber, omega-3s, and healthy fats)
- 1 tablespoon almond butter (adds healthy fats and a rich flavor)
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (optional, for added creaminess and probiotics)
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (for a hint of flavor and anti-inflammatory benefits)

Instructions
1. Add the almond milk to a blender, followed by the protein powder, frozen banana, spinach, chia seeds, almond butter, and Greek yogurt (if using).
2. Blend on high until smooth and creamy. If it’s too thick, add a splash of water or more almond milk to reach your desired consistency.
3. Add ice if you’d like it colder and blend again.
4. Pour into a glass, sprinkle a dash of cinnamon on top, and enjoy!
