Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 tsp Nibancha powder sifted to remove clumps
- 1.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk chilled
- 1 cup Baby spinach tightly packed
- 1 cup Frozen mango chunks provides natural sweetness
- 0.5 cup Frozen banana slices for a creamy texture
- 1 tbsp Almond butter smooth or crunchy
- 1 tsp Honey or maple syrup optional, to taste

Notes
Storage: Best enjoyed immediately. If making ahead, store in an airtight thermos for up to 4 hours; shake well before drinking as natural separation may occur. Variation: Substitute almond milk with coconut milk for a more tropical flavor profile. For extra protein, add a scoop of vanilla plant-based protein powder.
