I used to make this smoothie with kefir but since going vegan that is a no-no so the replacement is soy milk. Packed full of vitamins and minerals! Great for a late morning breakfast after coffee.
Green Smoothie
Serving: 1-2 (my husband and I split this)
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup soy milk
- Frozen banana (if you use a non-frozen banana add a few ice cubes so your smoothie is nice and chilled)
- 2 additional fruits of your choice. I change this up from frozen blueberries, apple, orange, melon. Any fruit that is starting to go bad just throw it in the there.
- 1 tbsp Flax seeds
- Spinach (about 1 cup)
Directions:
- In a blender (or food processor) add in this order .. banana, soy milk, fruit, flax seed then stuff as much spinach in as will fit.
- Blend up. This takes me awhile and you might have to take a wooden spoon to shove everything to the bottom if you are using a blender.
