And it looks something like this.
Forgive my chipped polish!
Yeah. I get looks all the time. I know, it looks totally gross and like you'd never willingly eat that.
But I swear to you it is SO SCRUMPTIOUS and yes, it keeps me full for the next two-and-a-half hours until I can snack on a cheese stick before lunch.
Here's what goes into my smoothie the night before and gets blended up first thing in the morning.
1 cup of purple kale
1.5 cups of curly leaf spinach
1.25 cups of almond milk, unsweetened vanilla flavor (for a whopping 38 calories - beat that dairy milk!)
1 cup of frozen unsweetened blueberries
1 medium banana (about 7-8 inches long)
That's it. I blend it up in a blender kit we got for Christmas - it blends right in the container I drink out of, so it's super easy to clean. Just run the blade attachment under the water before I run out the door, pop on the flip-top lid, and go!
Look, I wasn't initially keen on chugging my salad. But I also recognize that leafy greens are super good for us and I try to incorporate them into two meals a day - at least!
My fitness and diet app tells me that my smoothie is about 252 calories - SCORE!
And I promise - it doesn't look like a typical yummy food - but try it once and you'll be sold! No "spinachy" taste, no bits of leaf in your teeth. Just sweet creamy blueberry-banana from start to finish!
Nom nom for now,
Amanda
