Green Smoothies

Green smoothies... Sound scary? Well, let me be the first to assure you that they have become a highlight of my day (my days are obviously very exciting)! Whenever I visit my home in San Antonio, I always make it a goal to get my favorite GS from the gym I work out at, but now I have created created a better version of my beloved smoothie! 


Here's what I use for a basic GS: 

• handful of ice
• cup of almond milk 
• 2 handful of spinach
• handful of kale
• banana
• sweetener (Splenda)

Sometimes I will add PB2 (powdered version of peanut butter), different fruit (any kind will work to sweeten), vanilla protein powder, or cocoa powder (adding a bit of cocoa powder makes it taste like a Baskin Robbins chocolate shake..promise!). The options are pretty limitless and it's fun to play around with different ideas!

Not too scary, right? These smoothies are such a great way to eat raw fruits and veggies. After drinking them for a while, I have felt more energized, hydrated, and I have seen great improvements in my skin. Clearly, I'm a big fan!
