Ingredients:

  • 2 cups (60g) fresh baby spinach, packed
  • 1 tbsp (15g) pumpkin seeds
  • 1 tbsp (10g) chia seeds
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) blackstrap molasses
  • 1 cup (240ml) fresh squeezed orange juice
  • 1/2 cup (120g) frozen mango chunks
  • 1 medium (120g) frozen banana, sliced
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 tsp (2.5ml) vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) water

Instructions:

  1. Pour the orange juice into the blender and add the baby spinach.
  2. Blend on high for 30 seconds until the liquid is bright green and no leaf fragments remain. Note: Doing this first prevents spinach chunks in your straw.
  3. Add the frozen mango and frozen banana slices.
  4. Add the Greek yogurt and vanilla extract.
  5. Add the pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, and blackstrap molasses.
  6. Blend on high for 45-60 seconds until the mixture is thick and glossy.
  7. Check the consistency. If it's too dense to pour, add water one tablespoon at a time.
  8. Blend for another 10 seconds until it reaches a velvety finish.
  9. Pour into two glasses and serve immediately.
