Going GrEEEEEEEn with the Protein Smoothie


Summer Time means smoothies :)
And I've been experimenting with the 'GrEEEEEn ones'
This one I like to call my Tropical grEEEEEn protein smoothie:

What you will need:

blender
1 cup Kale (washed & stems removed)
1/2 C organic pure apple juice
1/2 cup frozen or fresh pineapple
1/2 cup frozen or fresh strawberries
1 small banana
1/2 scoop pure vanilla whey protein (I use Sun Warrior)
1/2 cup plain greek yogurt
1 tbsp ground flax seed for added fiber (optional)

place first 2 ingredients in blender and blend WELL. Add remaining ingredients and blend. The more you blend- the better. I like to use at least 1 frozen fruit so that I don't need ice- I love my smoothies super cold :)

if you didn't know, Kale is a SUPER FOOD so drink up, buttercups ;)
