Ingredients
- 1 frozen banana
- Large handful of spinach (about 40g)
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- 200ml milk or unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tbsp peanut butter
- 1 tsp ground flaxseed
- Ice, if your banana is not frozen
Method
- Put the liquid in the blender first — it stops the powder sticking to the bottom.
- Add the spinach and blend for twenty seconds until no leaf pieces remain.
- Add the banana, protein powder, peanut butter and flaxseed.
- Blend for another thirty to forty seconds until completely smooth.
- Drink within about ten minutes, before it separates.
Freeze bananas when they go spotty — peel and bag them first.
You cannot taste the spinach. You can taste kale, so use spinach.
For a bigger post-session meal, add 40g of oats. That takes it to roughly 460 calories.
