- 1/2 small to medium avocado, peeled

- 1 fresh or frozen banana, peeled and cut into chunks (optional)
- 1/4 cup frozen mango or pineapple chunks
- 1 tablespoon raw hemp seeds

For Serving

Instructions
- Prepare Smoothie Mix: Fill a sandwich size freezer bag with avocado, spinach, banana, mango, hemp seeds, maca powder, and protein powder if using. Seal the bag tightly to prevent freezer burn, then place it in the freezer for up to three months, allowing the ingredients to stay fresh and ready for quick blending.
- Blend the Smoothie: When ready to enjoy, empty the contents of the smoothie bag into a blender. Add 1 cup of unsweetened nut milk and blend until smooth. If the smoothie is too thick, add more nut milk gradually until the desired consistency is reached.
- Serve and Garnish: Pour the smoothie into a glass and garnish with frozen or fresh berries and granola on top for added texture and flavor. Enjoy immediately for a nutritious and refreshing start to your day.
Notes
- Freezing ingredients ahead of time saves prep work on busy mornings and keeps produce fresh for months.
- The banana and protein powder are optional and can be omitted or substituted to suit dietary needs or preferences.
- If you prefer a colder smoothie without watering down, use frozen banana and mango chunks.
- Adjust the amount of nut milk to achieve your preferred smoothie thickness.
- Try different nut milks like almond, cashew, or oat milk to vary the flavor.
