This Delicious Smoothie Means Veggies For Breakfast

I usually drink a smoothie for breakfast, and this is one of my favorites to start the day with.

It’s less than 500 calories and packs close to 30 grams of protein in one serving.  Drink this for breakfast and you have had one serving of green vegetables for the day!

Ingredients ( Serves 1):

1 ripe banana

1 cup baby spinach leaves

2 tbsp almond butter

1 cup almond milk

1 scoop of whey protein powder ( I use MRMâ„¢ 100% All Natural Unflavored Whey Protein Powder)

Blend This Delicious Smoothie Until Smooth

Place ingredients in a single serve blender cup and blend till smooth.

For Breakfast Dessert Just Add ..

For a breakfast that tastes more like dessert, try using a frozen banana – tastes just like ice cream!
