This is my new favorite meal-replacement smoothie recipe. I'll have one of these for breakfast or lunch for a quick, nutritious and guilt-free meal. If you have trouble eating enough greens during your day, DRINK THEM! The kale is barely noticeable in this smoothie and it's packed with healthy goodness! It is a cancer-fighting powerhouse. Here is a great article on the health benefits of kale here. Make sure that you blend this smoothie long enough to achieve a smooth consistency.
Enjoy~
Power Smoothie
Ingredients:
1/4 cup plain fat-free greek yogurt
3/4 cup frozen strawberries or blueberries (I like to use half and half)
1/2 frozen banana
1 cup organic unsweetened soy milk (can also use skim milk)
1/3 cup quick oats, dry
1 cup kale, chopped into small pieces ( I buy mine already chopped for convenience)
dash ground cinnamon
2 packets truvia sweetener (can also use agave nectar or raw honey to taste)
3-4 ice cubes.
Combine all ingredients in a blender.
Blend until smooth, scraping down sides in the process. You may need to add a bit more soy milk to your desired consistency. You can feel great drinking this shake! It's so good for you!!
