As I was making my smoothie this morning I thought I would share a visual of the goodness.  I love this smoothie!  It is packed with great nutrients (and calories) but these are calories that we all want and need.
Recently, I was at my child's preschool with my green smoothie in hand and I set it down to help out.  I looked up to find the teacher holding the glass looking inside it like it was chopped liver.  I laughed and claimed it and all she could do was say, "yummy" when she handed it back.  It was pretty funny because clearly she did not think it looked appetizing and clearly she doesn't know a smoothie's best kept secret- which is you cannot even taste the spinach!
Having this smoothie kind of reminds me of when I was younger and I would occassionally get a milkshake.  I really loved it when the milkshake was too big for the glass so you got the metal blender jar to refill your glass.  Of course that was a personal favorite.  Nowadays I choose not to have the oversized milkshake but I have the next best thing everyday.
It consists of:
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
1 small banana or a 1/2 large one
blueberries or strawberries (I never measure)
1/2 tablespoon honey (I always have to measure or I will go big)
7 ice cubes
1 or 2 tablespoons of flax meal (I do two if I am going to be short on protein that day)
Fill the rest with baby spinach leaves (about 2 cups)
and tada...

Breakfast time!  Don't forget the full glass of ice water along with your smoothie.  I have to make an effort or I will forget about the sorce of life (water).
