I drink a variation of this Smoothie Recipe every morning. As Klancy Miller @klancycooks , author of Cooking Solo, said to me over lunch one day in NYC, a morning smoothie is an easy way to jumpstart your metabolism and begin eating the 5-13 daily serving of fruits and vegetables we need each day. Oh, and it’s really yummy and kind to your waistline too! ?
- 1 cup Total Greek Yoghurt
- 1 cup whole Strawberries
- 1 cup Kale
- 1 chopped Apple
- 1 frozen Banana
- Juice of 1 Lemon
- 1/2 tsp Pure Vanilla Powder
- 2 tbsp Flax Seeds
- 1/4 tsp Cinnamon
- 3/4 cup Water
- 1 cup Ice
(2 Servings)
Put everything in order listed in vitamix. Choose Frozen Desserts setting and let that magic machine do the work!
(Jackie’s Tip ?: Buy strawberries, bananas, lemons, apples, individual cups of Greek yoghurt and pre-washed bagged Kale whenever you make a grocery run. This ensures you always have these staple ingredients on hand to make this basic smoothie. I use them daily so they never get a chance to spoil. If you have some extra busy days or head out for a trip, throw peeled bannans, chopped apples, kale or washed strawberries in the freezer to use next week. Eating healthy is super easy if you just plan ahead and get in a rhythm!)
