Ingredients

• 1 medium banana, peeled and sliced, preferably frozen
• 1/2 avocado
• 1 cup baby spinach
• 1 tablespoon hemp seeds
• 1 tablespoon nut butter
• 1 Medjool date, pitted
• 1 1/2 cups unsweetened plant-based milk of choice (coconut, almond, oat)
• 1 pinch unrefined sea salt

Optional Toppings:

• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Method

2. If the consistency of the smoothie is too thick, slowly add more plant-based milk to the blender.
3. To add an extra boost to your smoothie, pick 1 or 2 of the optional spices.

FM Tip: Avocado is a little powerhouse that’s discreet in flavor. It is rich in essential fatty acids that are integral for cell and hormone function, and it will keep you fuller for longer.
