Looking for an all-natural healthy kickstart to your day that tastes great? Try this energy boosting (not to mention brain-boosting) smoothie recipe!
You will need:
blueberries (fresh or frozen)
low fat unsweetened greek yogurt
fresh kale
ground flax seed
ice, to taste
1. Into your blender, add 1 to 2 cups of blueberries (fresh or frozen)
2. Next, add 3/4 of a cup of 0% milk fat, high protein unsweetened yogurt
3. Then add 2 (well washed) Kale leaves
4. Add 1 heaping teaspoon of ground flax seed
5. Blend at high speed for one minute (if in doubt, blend it longer to ensure kale is completely blended).
Enjoy!
Tips:
When I use frozen blueberries I add 1/4 cup of hot water to ensure there is enough moisture for the ingredients to blend. But I offset it with more ice to keep the drink cold.
Kale is a very strong flavor so I only use 2 leaves; if you substitute spinach, you can use a lot more.
