Equipment

  • Blender

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Baby Spinach
  • 1 knob Fresh Ginger
  • ½ Banana
  • ¼ cup Carrots
  • 1 tablespoon Hemp Seeds
  • 1 scoop Protein Powder
  • 1 tablespoon Powdered Almond Butter Optional
  • 1 Pitted Date Optional
  • 1 cup Almond Milk Use ¾ cup for a thicker smoothie and substitute any non-dairy milk
  • Ice Use a handful

Instructions

  • Add all ingredients into a blender and blend till smooth.
  • Top with a bit of pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon for an extra Fall vibe.

Notes

  • Ingredient Substitutions:
    • Baby spinach - You could also swap out the spinach for kale.
    • Fresh Ginger - I used one knob of fresh ginger for this smoothie. But if you don't have any, you could try adding ground ginger instead.
    • Carrots - Of course a carrot smoothie wouldn't be a carrot smoothie without them! I used pre-shredded carrots but you could always shred them yourselves or use baby carrots.
    • Hemp seeds - Hemp seeds are a perfect protein and are a good source of healthy fats. But you can leave it out if you don't have it.
    • Turmeric Protein Powder - I used a turmeric protein powder that I linked to above. Feel free to use regular vanilla protein powder and add 1 teaspoon ground turmeric or a 1” piece of fresh turmeric.
    • Powdered Almond Butter - Use 1 tablespoon regular almond butter or powdered almond butter for more healthy fats and to add a bit of creaminess.
    • Pitted Date - The date is to add just a hint of sweetness. Sub 1 tablespoon honey, agave, or maple syrup. Or leave out all together.
    • Almond Milk - You can really use any nondairy milk you want here in this smoothie. I prefer almond or oat milk.
