Whether I need a quick fix post-exercise or I’m headed out to the grocery store and don’t want to be tempted to kill my budget with extras, this is my go-to quick meal, because I can get greens, protein, and some other dense nutrients in a matter of minutes. Add to that, it tastes great and I keep returning to this recipe over and over!

- 1 scoop Chocolate Protein Powder (I use Chocolate Vegan Shakeology for super dense nutrients)

- 1 cup spinach, packed
- Ice, one handful (or more to your liking)
Directions:
