  • 1 cup unsweetened, vanilla almond milk
  • 2 Tbsp. unshelled pistachios
  • 1 Tbsp. unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 frozen banana
  • 1½ tsp. pure vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp. cinnamon
  • 1 packet stevia (optional)

Directions

  1. Cook and refrigerate quinoa beforehand.
  2. Combine the kale and milk in a high powered blender and blend until completely smooth.
  3. Add the pistachios and coconut and blend thoroughly.
  4. Add in the quinoa and blend until smooth. Blend in remaining ingredients (taste before adding stevia). Serve immediately.
