What You’ll Need for the Recipe

• Banana – best to go with frozen peeled bananas as it gives the smoothie a better texture, but I normally go with fresh bananas as it’s a bit faster and more comfortable with no prepping needed.
• Raspberries – best always to use frozen raspberries as it’ll give the smoothie a better icy texture. You’re welcome to replace the raspberries with any other frozen berries of your choice though.
• Protein powder – a scoop of any of your favorite protein powder will work. My favorite option here is a chocolate pea protein powder, but vanilla and strawberry flavor are great as well.
• Almond milk – nutritious, dairy free and low in calories. You’re welcome to go with the sugar free version if you’re watching out for calories or don’t like sweet smoothies.
• Chia seeds – chia seeds give the smoothie a nice crunch to it and are packed with fibers.
• Baby spinach leaves – great neutral taste and mixes well with smoothies for your daily greens.
• Ice – add plenty of ice as it gives the smoothie a great texture and keeps it nice and cold.
