Breakfast Smoothie D |VEG | GF
Makes 1 serving I admit that this smoothie isn’t the most gorgeous color, but I assure you it’s delicious and super filling. I find that if I start my day with this healthy choice, I not only feel great, but I make better food choices the rest of the day. If you use fresh fruit, throw in a few ice cubes before blending. If you use frozen fruit, you don’t need them. Here’s why it’s good for you. Kale: vitamins A, C, & K, folate (a B vitamin), alpha-linolenic acid (an omega-3 fatty acid), lutein & zeaxanthin (good for your eyes), phosphorus, potassium, calcium & zinc Berries: antioxidants, fiber, vitamin C, manganese, vitamin K, copper, & folate Greek Yogurt: protein, vitamins B12, B2 & B5, & A, calcium, phosphorus, potassium, zinc, selenium, & live yogurt cultures for gut health. Labne or kefir are good choices too. Chia Seeds: fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, some protein Coconut Water: antioxidants, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, & potassium (electrolytes) |
