- 1/2 small to medium avocado, peeled
- 1 cup fresh spinach (or 1/2 cup frozen spinach)
- 1 fresh or frozen banana, peeled and cut into chunks (optional)
- 1/4 cup frozen mango or pineapple chunks
- 1 tablespoon raw hemp seeds
- 1 teaspoon maca powder
- 1 scoop protein powder (optional)

Instructions
- Prep the smoothie ingredients: Place avocado, spinach, banana (if using), mango or pineapple chunks, raw hemp seeds, maca powder, and protein powder (if using) into a sandwich size freezer bag. Seal the bag tightly and store it in the freezer for up to 3 months to keep the ingredients fresh and convenient for quick use.
- Blend the smoothie: When ready to enjoy, empty the contents of the smoothie bag into a blender. Add 1 cup of unsweetened nut milk along with the frozen ingredients. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If the smoothie is too thick, add more nut milk a little at a time until you reach the desired consistency.
- Serve with toppings: Pour the smoothie into a glass and top with frozen or fresh berries and granola if desired. Enjoy your refreshing and nutritious green smoothie immediately for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- This smoothie is perfect for busy mornings, taking only two minutes to blend thanks to the pre-prepped freezer packs.
- Freezing the ingredients ahead preserves freshness for up to three months, so you can batch prep in advance.
- Using unsweetened nut milk keeps the smoothie light and dairy-free.
- Optional ingredients like banana and protein powder can be omitted or added depending on dietary preferences and nutritional needs.
- Adjust the thickness by adding more nut milk if you prefer a thinner smoothie.
