Ingredients
- 1 avocado (frozen cal also be used, or cool in the freezer for one hour before using)
- 2 cups chopped collard greens leaves
- 1 cup coconut milk (or another plant milk of choice)
- 1/2 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen, best if they are frozen or super cold)
- 4 tablespoons cacao nibs (plus more for serving)
- 1 tablespoon maca powder
- 1 tablespoon spirulina
- 1 teaspoon Lion’s Mane
- 2 scoops Vital Reds
- about 2 cups cold, filtered water (I added gradually until the desired consistency, you can do the same)
Instructions
- Clean the collard greens and separate the leaves from the stems. Reserve the stems for another recipe. For the smoothie, finely chop the leaves until you have two packed cups.
- Combine all ingredients in a high-powered blender and blend until smooth. Add more water or milk to achieve your desired texture.
- Enjoy the collard green smoothie immediately for the best taste and nutrient retention.
Notes
Note on consistency and texture: Since this smoothie doesn’t contain any ice, is better if the ingredients are all cold, from the refrigerator, or even cooled in the freezer. Alternatively, you can add a few cubes of ice when you blend.
