The recipe makes 6 smoothies ~ Each smoothie contains: Carbs-51, Protein-25, Fats-4

INGREDIENTS

• 2 cup pieces (330g) fresh or frozen mango

• 2 cup (325g) fresh or frozen mixed berries

• 2 small (6″ to 6-7/8″ long) (202g) banana (sliced)

• 3 cup (90g) baby spinach

• 6 scoop (192g) Vanilla Dream Driven Whey Protein Powder

• 3 cup (720g) unsweetened almond milk

PREPERATION

• Set out 6 Mason jars. In the bottom of each jar layer ⅓ cup mango, ⅓ cup mixed berries, ⅓ of a sliced banana (about ⅓ cup), and ½ cup baby spinach. Pack the ingredients lightly in the jars so it comes out easily later!
• Tightly close each jar and place in the freezer for up to 1 month. When ready to blend, add the contents of the jar to the blender along with ½ cup almond milk and 1 scoop of protein powder.
• Blend until smooth and creamy, adding extra ice if desired.
• You can also use regular fat-free milk and extra whey protein in these smoothies. 
• You can also make smoothie packs using freezer safe zip-top plastic bags instead of glass jars. Divide the fruit and spinach between the bags, freeze, and blend as instructed.
• Optional toppings: hemp seeds, chia seeds, nut butter, granola
