Instructions
Blend the base: In a blender, add 1 frozen banana, 1 pitted Medjool date, ¼ cup frozen mixed greens, ¼ cup frozen zucchini, and ½ cup water. Blend on high until smooth and creamy, about 30–45 seconds.
Add protein: Add 1 scoop vanilla protein powder to the blended mixture and blend again for 10–15 seconds, just until fully incorporated.
Prepare the cookie dough topping: In a separate bowl, combine 2 tablespoons peanut butter, 1 tablespoon almond flour, and 1 teaspoon cacao nibs. Stir until a thick “cookie dough” texture forms. If needed, adjust with a splash of water or a pinch more almond flour.
Assemble: Using a spoon or spatula, press the cookie dough mixture along the inner sides of your serving cup or jar.
Serve: Pour the smoothie into the center of the cup. Top with a few extra cacao nibs if desired. Enjoy immediately with a spoon or straw!
Pro Tip: When prepping at the beginning of the week, peel bananas and add them to a container of bag to place in the freezer. Wash zucchini and add it to the bag as well. Wash mix greens, set aside to dry, then add them as well. The frozen fruits and veggies are what add to the creaminess of smoothies!
