Can be used as a meal replacement or a snack, and is a great post workout treat.

I get inordinately excited about staying near healthy restaurants when I travel because it can be so hard to “stay on plan” when on the road. Even when I’m traveling, I try to adhere to my “one green smoothie a day” rule.

And let’s be honest–a green smoothie is even more needed during trips as I’m often indulging and in need of some liver-repairing, you’ve-eaten-way-too-much-cheese-please-someone-help-me-digest, detox-before-you-retox green magic.

Green Vegan Protein Smoothie Recipe
This healthy, lean Green vegan Protein Smoothie recipe is inspired by NYC's Juice Press--it's dairy free, full of omega-3s and plant protein (chia seeds, hemp seeds and almond butter) and a clean alternative to traditional protein shakes for weight loss and optimal health. Can be used as a meal replacement or a snack.

Ingredients

• 2 cups organic spinach
• 1 frozen banana
• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (add 1/4 cup at a time more if you need more liquid)
• 1 tablespoon organic chia seeds
• 2 tablespoons hemp seeds (I recommend Manitoba Harvest)
• 2 tablespoons almond butter (I recommend NaturAlmond)
• 2 Medjool dates

Instructions

1. Combine all ingredients into a large, high-powered blender (I recommend Vitamix) and blend until smooth and creamy.
2. Serve and enjoy!

Recipe Notes
If you don't use a frozen banana, then add 1 cup of ice to the smoothie to make it cold and frothy.
