Notes
This recipe makes 1 large green smoothie or 2 smaller smoothie suitable for a snack or sharing.
For the liquid, use any plant-based milk, water or coconut water. For a low-calorie smoothie, omit the almond butter. For more calories, increase the nut butter to 2 tbsp. If you have kids that aren't a fan of green foods, add 1/4 cup frozen blueberries to make it purple!
Smoothie can be made up to 1 day in advance and stored in the fridge or you can add everything but the almond milk to a freezer-safe bag or container to speed things up when you're ready to make it.
