Ingredients

• 5-6 cups greens *see note
• 2 frozen bananas
• 1-2 tbsp cocoa powder
• 2 tbsp flax seeds
• 2 tbsp chia seeds
• 1 cup plant milk (add more as needed) *see note
• 1 cup water

Directions

1. Blend all ingredients in a high-powered blender.

Notes

• If using a regular blender, use ground flax and ground chia seeds and allow frozen fruit to defrost for 10-15 minutes prior to blending. Use more liquid as needed to blend.
• Use baby spinach for a milder “green flavour”
• Start with less greens and add more as desired to taste
• The flax and chia seeds will thicken the smoothie as it rests, so add more plant milk or water for a thinner consistency
• For a creamier version, use 2 cups plant milk instead of 1 cup plant milk and 1 cup water
