Black Shake

This recipes uses our Activated Black Sesame Milk - check that recipe first to have on hand!

Notes:

Using all frozen ingredients will make for a thicker smoothie. Feel free to toss in an unfrozen banana for a smoother (and less cold) smoothie.

My personal favorite protein powder is Garden of Life’s All-In-One protein. Both the chocolate and vanilla flavors are great (chocolate protein powder with peanut butter & vanilla powder with almond butter, great combos). I love their protein because they have 20g protein, 44 different superfoods, 7g Fiber per scoop, as well as probiotic and enzyme blends.

A green smoothie with their protein powder is my daily multi-vitamin.

I recommend finding a plant-powered protein powder from your local health food store. Think of this as a small investment that will be your back-up on hectic days, in the morning or before a workout, anytime that you might not be able to sit down for a full meal but still need nourishment.

1-2 cups frozen spinach

Serve and enjoy!
