Green Breakfast Smoothie!

Good morning my loves!



I make a variation of this smoothie every day. It gets me PUMPED and energized for the day. Much more than coffee ever did might I add! (And I drank a LOT of coffee in my day ;)

This recipe makes about 46 oz, so enough for 2 people!

1-2 Bananas
1 apple
1/4 cup frozen Strawberries
1/4 cup frozen blueberries
3 large stalks of Kale (ends removed)
1/4 or less of a pineapple
1/4 cup or less of coconut meat (optional)
5-6 Dates
1 tsp of less of vanilla extract
1/4 tsp of almond extract
1/4 tsp of Cinnamon
1/8 tsp of nutmeg
Coconut water or almond milk, enough that the first inch or two in the blender is covered (to ease the blades to be able to blend)
4-5 Ice cubes

>Optional but I always put these superfood powders in for extra nutritional and energy benefits:

1-2 tsps of Maca Powder
1 tsp of Cacao Powder
1 tsp of Lucuma Powder
1 tsp of Mesquite Power

> Try to put the softest ingredients towards the bottom for easier blending. Blend on high until everything is smooth and evenly mixed.

On top I put:

1 tbsp of chia seeds
1 tbsp coconut shreds
1 tbsp cacao nibs
2 tsps raw almond slivers crunched up

Mix well throughout (esp the chia seeds), grab a BIG straw and ENJOY! (I got my straws at bed, bath & beyond!)

Hope you love! xoxo
