Ingredients Needed to Prepare An Awesome Green Smoothie






Green Smoothies are a great and healthy breakfast option for the health conscious.  These delicious smoothies are healthy, tasty, and can be made quickly.  I often prepare these drinks to jump start my day.  Since my metabolism has changed since I was in my 20's and un-huh my 30's, I knew that I needed to have a green smoothie at least once a day to maintain my weight.  I get a tasty dose of various vitamins and a serving of vegetables disguised in a fruit bath.  This is definitely a good way to get some veggies in.  My children also love these smoothies!  I've adjusted what I put in my smoothie on many occasions, however this is what I'm drinking now.

Ingredients
1/2 cup of original almond milk
1/2 cup of water
1 medium sized banana (preferably  ripe)
1/4 cup of organic blueberries (frozen or fresh)
1 tablespoon of ground flax seed (enjoy the dose of Omega3's and Fiber)
1 cup of ice
1 cup = 1 handful of kale ( or kale, spinach, and carrot blend mix)
1 sprinkle of cinnamon

1 serving= approximately 223 calories
FYI: I purchased all ingredients at Sam's Club, except for the Flax Seed, which was found at Whole Foods. 

My mornings frequently look like this, when enjoying my smoothie!  If I don't finish it before leaving home, I put the top on my cup and take it with me while driving to work, etc.
