Makes 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 medium frozen banana

- 2 cups or 2 large handfuls of fresh baby spinach
- 2 tbsp ground flaxseed
- 2 scoops Growing Naturals vanilla pea protein
Directions
Place all ingredients into a blender (except for protein powders) and blend until smooth. Then add the protein powders and pulse until thoroughly mixed. Top with your choice toppings. I used extra pineapple, a few grapes, hemp seeds and coconut flakes.
