Green Machine Smoothie


Here is a recipe that I like to do for breakfast on the weekends for my husband and myself. It is great way to get your veggies in and really tasty.

Here is what you need:
Fresh Kale (large handful)
Baby Spinach (small handful)
2 stalks of celery
1/2 Granny Smith Apple
Flax seed (1 teaspoon)
1 cup of almond/coconut milk (unsweetened)
a few chunks of frozen banana for sweetness
1 scoop of vanilla protein powder (for flavor)

Tip:
I like to blend the greens, celery, and apple first with 1/2 of the coconut/almond milk to break up the veggies. Then add the rest of the ingredients and blend until smooth


I know that is it GREEN, but I promise it tastes good.

Calories:
1 cup of Kale = 34 cal
1/2 cup of Spinach = 3 cal
1/2 Granny Smith Apple = 40 cal
Teaspoon Flax seeds= 13 cal
2 celery Stalks = 12 cal
1/3 banana = 30 cal
1 cup Coconut/Almond Milk = 50 cal
1 scoop Vanilla Protein Powder = 50 cal

Total: 232 calories

Enjoy!
