Notes
If you do not want to use a sweetened vegan protein powder, you could also use 1/2 -1 cup of Greek yogurt (regular or dairy free) + 1-2 tablespoons of your favorite sweetener (honey, maple syrup, low carb syrup) or 1-2 dates to sweeten this shake. NOTE: you likely will not need as much water as stated without the protein powder.
If you do not have frozen spinach, you could also use 1-2 cups of frozen cauliflower rice or frozen zucchini in place of the spinach.
Store in the fridge up to 24 hours in a sealed container.
