Breakfast of Champions

My husband and I have become addicted to green smoothies. Somedays I make them, somedays he makes them, but everyday this is our breakfast of choice.  

Green smoothies make me happy, and here is why... First, you start your day with several servings of vegetables, fruit, and some protein for good measure.  Secondly, freezing any greens you have not used saves you money as well as the shame of throwing food away.  All you have to do is take your washed leafy greens (kale, spinach, dandelion, etc.) that you haven't used raw, put them in a plastic bag and stash them in the freezer. Lastly, the variety of smoothies you can make are endless. Somedays we may use kale, cucumber, mint and lemon juice. Others, mango, dandelion and green apple.  Still some days we may throw frozen blueberries and spinach in the mix. Whatever produce we add, we also use chia seeds and flax seeds that we keep in our fridge (I use this mix on salads as well), apple cider vinegar (http://bragg.com/books/acv_excerpt.html, check out the numerous health benefits), protein powder and coconut water. 

Try it, you'll like it...
