This Creamy Green Basil Smoothie is bursting with a sweet herby flavor of summer. Strawberries are a relatively low sugar fruit and are packed full of antioxidants and fiber. While many smoothies are full of higher-sugar fruits (such as bananas, mango, and pineapple), this smoothie is full of fat, fiber, and protein, resulting in stable blood sugar- keeping you feeling full for hours.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups spinach
• 4-5 frozen strawberries
• 4 large fresh basil leaves
• ¼ avocado (or a few chunks of frozen avocado)
• 2 tsp lemon juice
• 1 scoop vanilla plant-based protein powder (Sunwarrior)
• 12-16 ounces unsweetened almond milk

Instructions:

1. Add all ingredients to a blender and blend at high speed until smooth and creamy. Add more liquid if desired.
