Green Smoothies tend to all look the same though they taste very different. I call these power smoothies because they’re packed with nutrients and tons of protein so they keep you energized and full for a long time.
And I’ve crossed Vitamix off of the “things I want” list because the ninja gets the job done.
Coffee Peanut Power Smoothie
- 1/2 c almond milk
- 1/2 c coffee
- 1/4 c water
- 1/4 of an avocado
- 1 T peanut flour
- 1 T flaxmeal
- 1 T hemp seeds
- 1/2 t Maca
- 1 t vanilla extract
- 1 c ice
- handful of spinach
- pinch of salt
Spirulina smoothie
Warning: do not use spirulina in your smoothie, unless you’re prepared for an extremely grassy flavor and turns your smoothie dark green fast.
Some kind of version of an elvis. I definitely missed the avocado texture wise.
Banana Peanut Power Smoothie
- 1/2 c almond milk
- 1/2 c water
- 1 very ripe frozen banana
- 1 T plant based protein powder
- 1 T peanut flour
- 1/2 t cinnamon
- 1 t vanilla extract
- 1/2 t Maca
- 1 T flaxmeal
- 1 T hemp seeds
- 1 c ice
- handful of spinach
I swear I create brilliance every time I’m about to leave somewhere and have literally nothing to work with for a morning meal. This one’s going in the books.
Blackberry Almond Power Smoothie
- 1/2 c almond milk
- 3/4 c water
- 1 T flax
- 1 T hemp
- 1/2 t maca
- 2 T cashews
- 1 t almond extract
- 1/2 c blackberries
Blackberries and almond flavoring were meant to be together. Almond extract is my new favorite smoothie addition and it should be yours too.
Question: Any smoothie flavor combo suggestions while I’m creating ninja magic?

I’m loving this smoothie kick of yours! Have you experimented much with pineapple? I only discovered that addition over our Summer (I used the tinned variety, incidentally) and it worked well.
That totally makes me want to
Do a pineapple smoothie with coconut milk. Good thing it’s summer here!
