One way or another, I try to get my greens in every day! This concoction of a tropical green smoothie has been my daily go to for the last few weeks.The girls at work will attest to my green smoothie I show up to work with, I call it my “pond scum”. I promise it tastes better than it looks 🙂
The vitamin C is essential, especially coming out of flu season and amidst this virus. Blended in a smoothie is one of the easiest ways I’ve found, and there’s about a million different ways you can blend one up. If your greens are starting to go bad, this is one of the easiest ways to use up a lot of them before they’re wasted!
For the record, frozen fruit is the cheapest way to go for smoothies. It chills and gives flavor, but is pretty cheap to buy, especially at Aldi. It gets pricey to add fresh fruit in to something that will be blended so you won’t even get to fully enjoy the fresh produce itself.
Ingredients:
- ½ C milk of choice (I use almond milk)
- Generous handful of spinach
- Generous handful of kale
- 2 tsp flax
- 1 tsp chia
- ⅓ C mixed frozen fruit (pineapple, mango, and blueberries)
- 1 scoop of protein powder of choice (I’ve been using vanilla Orgain)
Now you make it:
- Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth
- Add ice cubes to chill and thicken to preference
Hardly even a recipe, but it works.
Enjoy!
