Ingredients

2 cups fresh baby kale tightly packed
1 large frozen banana peeled and sliced
2 tbsp mesquite pod powder raw and organic
1.5 cups unsweetened almond milk or any nut milk
1 tbsp almond butter creamy style
1 tsp chia seeds for added fiber
0.5 tsp ground cinnamon Ceylon preferred
0.5 cup ice cubes optional for thickness

Notes

Storage: Best consumed immediately, but can be kept in an airtight mason jar for up to 12 hours (shake well before drinking). Make-Ahead: Prep the kale, banana, and mesquite in a freezer bag for a quick 'dump and blend' meal. Substitution: If kale is too bitter, spinach works beautifully as a milder alternative.
