Smoothies Pack a Healthy Punch!

Smoothies are ideal when you need to fit a whole lot of nutrients into your day quickly. The key is combining the right foods so that they're not only healthy, but they also taste good :)

Here's two of my favorites:

Lean Green Smoothie - Ideal for breakfast to help you feel full longer!

Combine 2 bananas, 1 cup baby carrots, 1/2 cup natural applesauce, 1 cup vanilla almond or soy milk, and as much kale as you can fit in a blender and mix well. Makes 2 servings. Store 1 serving in airtight container in fridge for the next day.

Mid-Day Energy Smoothie - Perfect blend of protein, carbs, and antioxidants to keep you moving throughout the day!
 
Combine 3/4 cup vanilla almond or soy milk, 1 cup frozen mixed berries, 1/2 cup natural applesauce, 1 1/2 cups chopped kale in a blender and mix well. Makes 1 serving.
These are two very simple ones to get you started on your own healthy creations. Enjoy!
