Breakfast Smoothie

2 bananas
2 handfuls of strawberries
2 handfuls of kale
2 handfuls of spinach
chocolate protein powder
tablespoon of lemon juice
water and ice


Toss it all in a blender and you're good to go.  If you workout in the morning, this is a quick and easy way to finish the workout and start your day.  Enjoy.

I often put frozen berries to mix it up along with that basic mix.

Costco sells a berry medley along with a power greens mix with kale in it that I use.

I put one apple and one banana tho instead of two bananas

I've been using frozen berries as well.  In about a month and a half I will be using the berries fresh out of my back yard.    


I like to use an apple in an all green smoothie for some sweetness.  I'm a sucker for the chocolate and banana combination that I use after a workout.

Fresh berries are awesome. I find strawberries and blueberries work best. Blackberries make my smoothie full of seeds.

I sometimes add Greek yogurt. Instead of protein powder I grind up nuts into a fine powder ahead of time and add 2-3 table spoons of the nut mix.

Usually equal parts almonds and flax. Although I have used chia also. Walnuts made it bitter so I stay away from that.

Interesting.  Can you taste the kale?

Nope     

Good question about the taste of Kale.....it's got that somewhat repulsive, grass taste to it.  Also, this study came out yesterday.  Kale is very healthy, but not near the top of the list, as you would think from the way it goes down.  Watercress!!???!! got the #1 nod.  https://www.cdc.gov/pcd/issues/2014/13_0390.htm
