Nutty Green Smoothie

I love to start my mornings with a smoothie and this one really hits the spot.  The combination of spinach and fruit makes it sweet and alkalising and with the addition of almond butter, you get a good dose of essential fats that will keep you feeling satisfied and full for hours. 

Ingredients:
2 cups fresh spinach
1 frozen banana (peel banana and put in freezer for at least 3 hours)
1 cup frozen strawberries
¾ cup unsweetened almond milk
3-4 mint leaves
2 tablespoons almond butter

Method:
Place the spinach, strawberries, almond milk and mint into a blender and blend on high until smooth.

Then add the banana and almond butter and blend just enough to mix in the banana. Do not over blend.
