Chocolate Peanut Butter Smoothie Bowls (serves 2)
Ingredients:
1/2 cup almond milk or coconut milk
3 cups fresh spinach (or any other greens)
1 cup frozen cucumber (or frozen zucchini)
1 frozen banana
2 scoops chocolate protein powder
2 tbsp organic peanut butter (or any other nut butter)
2 tbsp chia seeds
1-2 ice cubes (optional)
Granola and Cacao Nibs to sprinkle on top
Directions:
Add the milk to the blender first, then add the spinach, cucumber, banana, protein powder, peanut butter, and chia seeds.
Blend until smooth. If you have trouble blending everything, you may need to stop the blender a few times to push everything into the blades or add a little extra milk. It should be very thick though, so don’t add too much unless you’re more of a smoothie-drinker.
Pour into a bowl and top with granola and cacao nibs. Feel like a badass that just ate veggies for breakfast.
