Drink your veggies!

Who here has a bad habit about remembering to take their vitamins and eating their greens? It's okay to speak up we all can't be good all the time. To tell you the truth I have a bad habit about not taking my vitamins and I tell myself all the time to eat more leafy greens, though my plate is oddly missing them.  I like salads but I also like dressing and tend to use more then the recommended serving, so that healthy low cal salad  isn't so healthy and low cal anymore.
The easiest and tastiest way I found for me to eat my greens and take my vitamins is by making a smoothie. Super easy super fast and you can take it on the go.  I like to make them for breakfast, there's so many different variations of delicious smoothies you can make you won't get bored during the week.

Vitamin Packed Smoothie

By Oishii Treats

Serves 2

Ingredients

1 Ripe banana

1 Cup frozen mixed berries

1 4oz container of plain greek yogurt

1/2 Cup spinach

1 Cup Kale (3 big leafs with the ribs removed)

1/2 scoop of vanilla whey protein

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Directions

Put all ingredients into a blender and mix well.  

When I first made this I thought I'd have to add some agave or honey, but this smoothie is surprisingly sweet enough without it. The ripe banana and berries really help hide the kale and spinach taste, if you don't want to drink a salad but still get the benefits of one ;) Plus here is the nutritional data on my smoothie. I found a website that can take all your ingredients in your recipe and come up with the nutritional information. Happy slurping
