Green Smoothie for lunch


I make this green smoothie almost every day.  It is not only delicious but is packed with nutrient rich kale which I probably would not want to eat raw.  

Green Smoothie

Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups green grapes
1/2 green apple
1/4 cup avocado
1/2 cup kale
1/2 cup spinach
1 scoop T7 protein drink
1 cup ice
1/2 cup water

Directions:
Put all ingredients in blender.  Mix well.  Enjoy.

The fruit and avocado always go in first.  That fills half of the blender.


I stuff kale and spinich into the other half.  The veggies never get "measured".
Barely enough room left for ice but that's ok.  I blend it on low, using a spatula to shove it down.  Once it is blended I turn it up to high for at least 30 seconds.
Then it gets poured into my favorite glass.  I survived the Wild Mouse at Lagoon in Salt Lake City just so I could justify buying that mug.  All that's left is to drink and enjoy.  So so yummy!
