Ingredients

3/4-1 cup unsweetened almond or cashew milk (or other preferred milk)
1 serving chocolate protein powder
1-2 handful(s) fresh baby spinach or kale (optional)
1 frozen ripe banana
1/2-1 cup frozen berries or cherries (or a mix!)
1/2-1 cup ice, depending on how slushie you like your shakes
optional add-ins: oats, ground flaxseed, chia seeds, hemp seeds, cocoa powder, nut or seed butter, yogurt, avocado, frozen cauliflower

Instructions

Add all ingredients to a high-powered blender and blend until smooth.
Your shake will blend best if you add the ingredients in the order listed above. Add milk, then protein powder, then spinach and then all of the other ingredients.
I always add about 1/2 cup of ice and then blend. Then, I add more as needed to get the right consistency. I also like to start with about 3/4 cup milk and then add more, if needed to get the consistency perfect. Drink up!
