Blueberry Spinach Smoothie Recipe

• Blueberries.  I’ll use fresh blueberries for this smoothie if I have them on hand.  But I also keep a couple of bags of frozen blueberries in the freezer to have on hand in case I run out of fresh.
• Banana. You can use fresh or frozen banana for this blueberry banana smoothie.  I personally prefer to add frozen banana because it gives my smoothies a creamier texture
• Baby spinach.  Either fresh or frozen spinach works for this smoothie.  Spinach has a pretty neutral flavor so the flavors of the blueberries and banana really stand out in this smoothie.  
• Almond butter.  I like to add a heaping tablespoonful of almond butter for a little protein. 
• Water.  We use water for this blueberry banana smoothie instead of dairy or vegan milk, keeping it both vegan and low-fat.
• Ice cubes.  Adding a few ice cubes makes this smoothie nice and cold and slushy.

Variations

• Use frozen cranberries instead of blueberries.
• Replace the almond butter with your favorite nut butter or omit it altogether if you want a lower calorie smoothie.
• Use baby kale instead of spinach (but the smoothie will taste a bit earthier with kale).
