This seriously is a friggen healthy delicious smoothie. It’s the perfect way to start a day. The spinach sounds a little weird, but its soo good for you and you really don’t taste it. It just gives it a pretty weird color. But every ingredient has some health benefit.
- 1 cup unsweetened green ice tea ( I like Trader Jo’s Orange and bergemot, but you can steep your own)
- 1/2 cup nonfat (or lowfat) plain yogurt
- 1 tsp flax seed oil
- Protein Powder (one serving)
- 1 cup frozen fruit – at least half should be a dark berry, but you can use any combo of fruit you like- my favorite is blueberry and pineapple
- About 3 cups fresh spinach
Put it all in a blender and blend. Depending on your protein powder this smoothie is approximately 250-300 calories. It’s not the lowest calorie smoothie you can make, but it is packed full of fiber, anti-oxidants, probiotics. Everything in it is healthy. I promis you, that if you make this your daily breakfast, you will start to feel tantaztic almost immediately.
A friend gave me a re-usable plastic cup that looks like a Starbucks iced coffee cup and I would make my smoothie up and then drink it on my way to work. So I made sure I was eating a healthy breakfast ever day. Even on the run. Yummy!!
I know the spinach sounds crazy, but just think about how good it is for you. Remember Popeye! He was strong to the finish because he ate his spinach.
