Yield: 1 serving

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup + 2 T water

• 1/4 cup plain greek yogurt

• 1 tsp hemp hearts

• 1 T psyllium husk

• 1 serving chocolate protein powder

• 1 serving collagen powder

• 1/2 T carob powder (or cacao)

• 1/2 cup frozen spinach

• 1/2 cup frozen cauliflower rice

• 1/2 frozen banana

• 1/2 tsp cinnamon

• pinch of salt

• 3/4 cup ice

Directions

• Add all ingredients except ice, to a blender bottle and blend immediately

• Add ice, and blend again

• Top with carob nibbles, or your favorite chocolate crunchy topping, and flaky sea salt - enjoy!

if you let the smoothie sit on the counter or in the fridge for more than a few minutes, it will thicken up due to the psyllium. If you choose to enjoy later, you can add additional water before drinking, 1 T at a time, and either blend again, or mix with a spoon to reach the desired consistency
