Equipment

blender

Ingredients

½ inch nub ginger
1 tsp chia seeds
1 TB oat fiber
1 TB cacao powder (or unsweetened cocoa powder)
10 drops EZ Sweetz (or other liquid sucralose)
¼ cup plain, non fat Greek yogurt
½ cup frozen banana slices
½ cup frozen blueberries
2 cups baby spinach (tightly packed)
1 cup water
½ cup ice

Instructions

Place the ingredients in the blender in the order given and blend on High until nice and smooth. Pour into a 30 ounce glass and enjoy with a straw!

Notes

You can also try adding 1 teaspoon of PB2 Pure peanut powder (10 calories) - it combines well with the cacao powder.

I use a Vitamix for this recipe, and it does a great job, but if you don't have one a regular blender will do. You'll just need to either finely mince the ginger first or purchase pre-prepped ginger and squeeze that in.
