green-eyed monster

Are you a morning person or a night person???

I'm a morning person.  Well, as soon as I have my cup of coffee.  Before the cup of coffee I'm like a green-eyed monster.  

After the cup of Jo' I'm only half of a green-eyed monster.  But, once I drink my green-eyed monster smoothie I'm 110% ready for the day!

This smoothie is my favorite to get my greens and fruit in first thing in the morning.  And, you just feel super good knowing you took care of yourself and started your day off right.  

What you'll need:

1 cup. almond milk (or milk of choice)

1 scoop vanilla protein powder

2 cups fresh spinach

a big handful of fresh kale

1/2 c. frozen mango

1/4 c. frozen pineapple

4-6 ice cubes

YES, you read that right...KALE!  It is just so good for you.  And, NO, you don't taste it!  Trust me.  Or trust yourself and make one!

I like to put in the milk, kale, and spinach in my blender Ninja, first.  

Blend until the greens are well blended.  

There may still be some chunks, but they will be taken care of in just a bit...

Add in your frozen fruit, protein powder, (oh I also added in half a banana) and your ice cubes.  Then, blend and let it get well mixed together.  

Ta-da! 

I love the versatility of this smoothie.  This time I added in half a banana.  Sometimes I do a frozen banana and half a pear as the fruit option.  It all depends on how you like it.  If you make it and need it to be a tad bit sweeter, add a little bit of agave.

Drink this so you're not a green-eyed monster!
