Ingredients
If you log this in Atlas later, start with the main ingredients below. The pattern engine cares more about the meal signal than a perfect kitchen diary.
- 2 large handfuls of baby spinach (approx. 60g)
- 1 ripe banana, sliced and frozen
- 1 scoop (approx. 25g) plant-based vanilla protein powder
- 240ml unsweetened almond or oat milk
- 1 tbsp almond butter
- 1 tsp ground flaxseed
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- 4–5 ice cubes
Method
- 1
Add the almond milk to the blender first — this helps the blade turn.
- 2
Add the spinach, frozen banana, protein powder, almond butter, flaxseed, and cinnamon.
- 3
Add the ice cubes.
- 4
Blend on high for 45–60 seconds until completely smooth. Scrape down the sides halfway through if needed.
- 5
Pour into a tall glass and drink immediately for the best texture and nutrient content.
Why this works for PCOS/PMOS
Higher protein intake supports muscle maintenance and reduces insulin resistance — two of the most impactful dietary levers for managing hormonal health.
