Instructions:
- Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients. Start by gathering all your ingredients. Make sure your banana is frozen for that creamy texture!
- Step 2: Add Ingredients to Blender. Place the frozen banana, almond milk, almond butter, chia seeds, collagen peptides, ground cinnamon, maca powder, raw cacao powder, blueberries, and spinach into the high-speed blender.
- Step 3: Blend Until Smooth. Blend on high until all ingredients are well combined and the mixture is smooth. If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more almond milk to reach your desired consistency.
- Step 4: Taste and Adjust. Taste your smoothie and adjust the flavors as needed. If you prefer it sweeter, consider adding a drizzle of honey or maple syrup.
- Step 5: Serve and Enjoy. Pour the smoothie into a glass or jar. You can top it with extra chia seeds, sliced banana, or a sprinkle of cacao powder for a beautiful finish.

Notes
- For a thicker smoothie, freeze your almond milk in ice cube trays and use those instead of liquid.
- Prep your ingredients in advance by portioning them out and storing them in freezer bags for a quick blend in the morning.
- Experiment with different types of greens—arugula or Swiss chard can add a fun twist.
- For an extra protein boost, consider adding Greek yogurt or a plant-based yogurt alternative.
