Green smoothies don't have to be a big production. In less than the time it takes to brew a cup of coffee, you can whip up this delicious smoothie which will provide you with hours of natural energy.

It's one of my favorite go-to smoothies when I am short on ingredients or time. I love drinking this before a workout because it fills me up without weighing me down. Enjoy!

INGREDIENTS

8 oz unsweetened almond milk (original flavor)
1-2 handfuls of organic spinach (washed)
1 frozen banana*
Cinnamon (to taste)
1 tbsp flaxseed oil (optional)

DIRECTIONS

Combine ingredients in the blender, putting spinach in last.
Blend until smooth.
Pour into your favorite glass and enjoy!

*When your banana is ripe, peel it and cut into fourths. Place in a zip-lock bag and place in the freezer. Freeze for at least 1 day. Now you have frozen bananas ready to go whenever you need them! [Read More: How to Freeze Bananas to Use in Smoothies]
