A Green Smoothie A Day

Hello fellow Mamas!

I have been on a green smoothie kick lately! Every morning I have been substituting a green
smoothie for breakfast every morning for a few weeks now, and I feel so good! I’m not saying
this is for everyone, but I feel cleaner inside (if that’s even a thing?!). I have a few recipes that
have become my “go-to’s”, and they are delish! I’m definitely no dietitian or nutritionist, but
green smoothies are such a great way to get in a serving or two (or three) of fruits and veggies!!
Not only are these great for you, but green smoothies are a good way to sneak in veggies for
your little one or one’s. Another plus, is that if you have a smoothie compatible water
bottle/mixer bottle, you can take your greens on the go, which as a mom, is definitely a plus!

Strawberry Banana Green Smoothie
1 Cup Strawberries

1⁄2 Cup Shredded Carrots
3⁄4 Cup Spinach

3⁄4 Cup Kale
1 Cup Ice

This one only makes 2 servings, or maybe I like it more so I eat more of it 😉 And it has 209
Calories, 5.5 grams of Fat, 32.7 grams of Carbs, 10.7 grams of Protein.

For all of these smoothies the nutritional value will vary based on the brand and quality of
ingredients you use.
