Ingredients

1 cup unsweetened almond milk
½ medium avocado approx. 100g or 3.5 oz
1 cup fresh spinach leaves approx. 30g or 1 oz
½ cup kale leaves stems removed, approx. 17g or 0.6 oz
¼ cup full-fat coconut milk
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon chia seeds
2 tablespoons hemp hearts shelled hemp seeds, approx. 20g or 0.7 oz
5-6 ice cubes optional
Stevia or monk fruit sweetener to taste, optional

Instructions

Start by preparing your ingredients: wash the spinach and kale leaves, peel and pit the avocado, and measure out the almond milk, coconut milk, lemon juice, chia seeds, and hemp hearts.
In a high-powered blender, add the unsweetened almond milk followed by the avocado, spinach, and kale to ensure a smooth blend.
Pour in the full-fat coconut milk for creaminess and add the lemon juice for a touch of brightness.
Sprinkle in the chia seeds and hemp hearts; these not only provide texture but also a punch of protein and omega-3 fatty acids.
If you prefer a colder smoothie, add ice cubes to the blender.
Blend on high speed for 30 seconds to 1 minute or until the smoothie reaches a creamy and smooth consistency.
Taste and, if desired, add a bit of Stevia or monk fruit sweetener to enhance the natural sweetness without adding carbs.
Once fully blended, pour the smoothie into two glasses and serve immediately for maximum freshness and flavor.

Notes

Feel free to adjust the thickness of your smoothie by adding more almond milk for a thinner consistency or more ice for thicker. For an added nutritional boost, consider adding a scoop of your favorite low-carb vegan protein powder. This smoothie is best enjoyed fresh, but you can store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one day.
