I used to be big into smoothies in high school in college, but have gone on a hiatus for a couple of years. After my Golden Milk, aka Sleepy Smoothie though, I was craving a green smoothie. Bananas are naturally sweet, and are a good source of Vitamin B6 and potassium. Mandarin oranges are also sweet, and provide Vitamin C. It contains healthy fats, magnesium, manganese, and potassium from the hemp seeds. Spinach is rich in fiber, vitamins A, B9, E, and K, as well as iron. This nutritious drink is a great pairing to some protein for breakfast (or add a scoop of protein powder)

- 1 medium (110 g) Banana, overripe
- 1 medium (88 g) Mandarin orange
- 2 oz (57 g) Frozen spinach, thawed
- 2 tbsp (20 g) Hemp hearts
- 1/2 tsp (2.5 g) Liquid monk fruit
- 1 cup (240 g) Unsweetened almond milk

1. The night before, break your banana into chunks, and freeze in an airtight bag. You can also use 1 cup (150 g) frozen grapes in place of banana

2. The next morning, blend together all ingredients until smooth

3. Optionally, add a scoop of protein powder. You can also use whatever milk you have on hand; today was almond for me
