Ninja Turtle Green Smoothie

 

This tastes like a turtle sundae, but packs some serious nutritional punch... sneaky ninja-style. And it's oh so green, just like those crazy turtles.

I could ramble about avocado love for days... but let's  keep this simple and save that for another post.

I love this smoothie so much because you get the healthy fat and fiber from the avocado, lots of leafy green goodness, all the goods from the almond milk, some plant based protein, some extra antioxidant love from the cocoa, and to top it all off some omegas from the pecans.  And it can all pass for dessert... Perfection! 

Ninja Turtle Green Smoothie

1 1/2 C almond milk

1/2 avocado

1 scoop vanilla rice protein powder- make sure it's gf and df 

1 heaping T cocoa powder- use some good stuff

5 ice cubes

1 big handful of spinach

1 t vanilla

1/4 C pecans

Some chocolate chips if you want to be extra fancy

Blend it all up and enjoy!  This makes a big smoothie. Maybe you'll share, maybe not... I won't judge! 😉
