I stumbled upon this combo during a hectic week when my fridge was nearly empty, save for some spinach, kale, and a few other staples. It’s become my go-to for a quick, nutrient-packed breakfast that keeps me full till lunch.
Ingredients
- For the smoothie:
- 1 cup fresh spinach, tightly packed

- 1/2 cup almond milk, unsweetened
- 1 tbsp almond butter
- 1 tsp chia seeds

Instructions
- Wash the spinach and kale thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt or grit. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or use a salad spinner.
