Magnesium Packed Smoothie Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 medium banana (ripe, for natural sweetness)
• 200 ml almond milk (unsweetened)
• 1 tsp matcha powder (for a gentle caffeine boost and antioxidants)
• 1 handful spinach leaves (about 30g, rich in magnesium and vitamins)
• 1 tbsp chia seeds (loaded with magnesium, fibre, and omega-3 fatty acids)
• 1 tbsp almond butter (for added creaminess and magnesium)
• 1 tsp cacao nibs (optional, for a magnesium-rich crunch)
• 5-6 ice cubes (optional, for a chilled smoothie)

Instructions

1. Prep the Ingredients:

   • Peel the banana and break it into chunks.
   • Wash the spinach leaves thoroughly.
     
     

2. Blend the Base:

   • Add the almond milk and spinach leaves to your blender. Blend until the spinach is fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
     
     

3. Add the Power Players:

   • Toss in the banana chunks, matcha powder, chia seeds, and almond butter. Blend until creamy and smooth.
     
     

4. Optional Crunch:

   • If using cacao nibs, add them last and give a quick pulse to mix them in without blending completely, so you get a bit of texture.
     
     

5. Adjust Consistency:

   • If you prefer your smoothie a bit thicker, add a few ice cubes and blend again until you reach your desired consistency.
     
     

6. Serve and Enjoy:

   • Pour your magnesium-packed matcha green smoothie into a glass and enjoy immediately. Perfect for any time you need a nutritious pick-me-up!
