Go-To Green Smoothie

I dare you to swap your morning coffee and pastries for green smoothies for one week.  I know it may sound scary, but I have been amazed at how much more energized I feel having a green smoothie as my drink of choice for breakfast.  Depending on what you add (ex: nut butter or protein powder), it can also be a meal replacement. Starting my day with this delicious blend of fruits, veggies, and protein leaves me feeling refreshed, healthy, and balanced instead of jittery and starving by 10 am.  I hope you enjoy the recipe and I encourage you to swap out ingredients to find your own personal favorite combo!

Sarah’s Go-To Green Smoothie Recipe:

1.5 cups of Coconut Water (I’m loving Central Market’s Brand or Vita Coco)

1 cup of rinsed Kale leaves or Spinach

1 frozen banana

1/2 cup frozen mango

1 tbsp almond butter

1 tbsp chia seeds

1 dash of cinnamon

Blend on High and Enjoy! Note this will taste best if you have a high powered blender like a Vitamix or Blendtec.
