I eat smoothies almost every day for breakfast. This smoothie has it all: fruit, greens, and protein. It's also sugar free, dairy free, gluten free, and vegan. Try adding different types of fruit and make your own creation!
Ingredients
ice (if you like your smoothies cold. I don't always add ice but some people prefer it)
1 banana
1 cup fresh strawberries
1 tablespoon peanut butter (I prefer all-natural creamy peanut butter)
1 tablespoon honey (you could also use agave nectar or any other natural sweetener. This ingredient is optional - you may not need any sweetener, I often make my smoothie without it)
1 handful of kale (or any other type of leafy green, such as spinach or romaine lettuce)
dash of cinnamon
dash of xanthum gum (this is optional but it makes the smoothie a bit thicker)
Preparation
Add all ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth.
If you are using ice and your blender is not that powerful (like mine), you may need to crush the ice before adding the other ingredients. You could also put the strawberries in the freezer or use frozen strawberries if you like your smoothies really cold. I have noticed that sometimes frozen berries are cheaper than fresh, and you can usually buy big bags of frozen strawberries at Costco that will last a while.
Make this smoothie and get your day off to a great start!
