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. 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 (I like Sunwarrior)
• 12-16 ounces unsweetened almond milk

Optional add-ins to boost the fiber

• Kiwi
• Basil seeds*

*Basil seeds have 2x the fiber of chia seeds! One tablespoon gives you 7 grams of fiber! Use code LAKESIDE for 15% off!

Instructions:

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