  • (1 Tablespoon) maple syrup, optional
  • 60 g (½ small) frozen banana
  • 60 g (½ cup) frozen blackberries
  • 130 g (1 cup) ice cubes

Directions

  1. Place all ingredients into the Vitamix container in the order listed and secure the lid.

Chef's Notes

  • Packed with plant protein, fiber, and healthy fats, this smoothie has what we call the trifecta of nutrients that will lead to a satiating snack.  These three nutrients slow down digestion and absorption, helping you feel fuller for longer. Plus the vitamin C in blackberries increases the body's ability to absorb the iron found in the spinach. This is a great snack idea for kids and adults alike.
