Equipment

Ingredients

  • 10 ounces almond milk or milk of choice
  • ½ scoop protein powder of choice
  • 1 cup frozen cucumber pieces 5 ounces
  • ½ cup plain greek yogurt
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 1 tablespoon zero-sugar honey or regular honey
  • 1 ounce baby spinach leaves a big handful

Instructions

  • Add the almond milk to the blender container then everything else. Blend until smooth and enjoy!

Notes

Order the monk fruit honey on this site. It comes in flavors too! It's all I use. 
Options: Add a small banana, add chopped mint leaves, swap lemon for lime, use all plain yogurt or all protein powder (but the combination is nice).
The nutrition calculation is provided as a reference as the numbers may change depending on the brands and ingredients you use or add. I use monk fruit honey so there is no sugar. If you use honey or sweetened yogurt, your sugar/carb numbers will be higher.
