This tasty example is just under 200 calories and will easily fill the gap between lunch and your evening meal. Drink it when the mid-afternoon munchies attack you, or while you prepare dinner to keep you from nibbling less healthy things.
Alternately, drink the whole recipe for a filling and healthy, meal-replacement breakfast.
The recipe is from Ashley at EdiblePerspective who gives a vegan alternative …
If you’re looking for a vegan option, use 3/4c milk of choice with 1T chia seeds, instead of the yogurt. This will help thicken up the smoothie.

This sounds delicious.
Since I’m on a low oxalate diet, what would you recommend as an alternative for the spinach without alternating the intended taste too much.
The small amount of almond butter I can manage, but not the spinach.
Hi Leah, bearing in mind we are not qualified nutritionists, we understand that for some people, oxalates in foods (such as leafy greens) can inhibit the absorption of calcium and so contribute to a build-up of calcium in the kidneys. However since our body needs oxalates, the solution is not to avoid them, but to avoid consuming foods high in oxalates at the same time as foods rich in calcium.
I’ve included a link below to an informative article you might find helpful, but if in doubt, we always recommend you consult your local medical or nutritional professional.
