“Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.”  You’ve heard this phrase countless times in your life.  Honestly, I think all meals are important and should be used to maximize your health.  But what you eat for breakfast truly does affect your hunger and choices for the rest of your day.  For most people, when they eat a healthy and satiating breakfast, they tend to choose healthy foods the rest of the day.  Here is the recipe for a Kale Smoothie that I make frequently for breakfast or after a workout.

Kale Smoothie:

2 servings

Ingredients:

2-4 kale leaves

1 cup water or milk of choice (coconut milk, raw milk, almond milk, etc)

Frozen strawberries

Frozen blueberries

1/2-1 scoop good quality protein powder (Optional)

1-2 tsp. chia seeds or ground flaxseeds

1 Tbsp. unrefined organic coconut oil

Directions:

Mix all ingredients in blender. Enjoy!

*Any frozen fruit can be used in this recipe. If you want to mask the green color of the smoothie for your kids (or husband), then add more blueberries.
