So for the first time, a few weeks ago, I started adding greens to
our smoothies. I was scared for a long time to try it, but now I'm so
glad I did. You can barely taste it and it adds greens, vitamins,
nutrients, fiber, etc etc, to an already good for you smoothie! So go
for it, try it! Oh...and after about a week, my husband wanders into the
kitchen sipping on his smoothie, and says "Hmm, it's like blended salad
meets smoothie, awesome!" hahaha!
Here's what we do, but you can vary this up a lot.. Different fruits, different greens, different seeds, etc.
In a blender add:
-1 cup plain yogurt (you can totally use flavored, but I make my own yogurt and it starts out plain, so that's what I use)
-1-2 cups spinach (I really just grab a huge handful)
-1-2 cups kale (again, I use a really big handful)
-1 cup frozen blueberries
-6 strawberries
-1 banana
-2 tb honey
-2 tb flax seed
-2 tb hemp seed
-2 tb chia seed
-4-8 oz of milk or water to make it "smoothie" consitancy
Blend
it up and serve!!! The recipe above makes approximately 3-4 adult size
12 oz servings. For us, we have 2 12 oz adult servings, and 3 kid size
cup servings...and a little left over for whoever wants it. Enjoy this
for breakfast and start your day off right. Great meal replacement!
