Oh Yes, There're Vegetables in My Smoothie

I like making and drinking smoothies. I get creative with many fruits but I have the most fun adding vegetables into them. I do my best to get in the right amount of servings but I don't always meet them with every meal. Adding vegetables to the smoothie helps me reach my daily allowance or consume more in one glass.

When I make a smoothie, I add Kale, Broccoli, or Spinach and I don't taste it at all. Here's an example of a smoothie I make:

• 1 cup milk (I use So Delicious® Coconut Milk Beverage)
• 1/2 cup Greek Yogurt (I use FAGE)
• Handful of frozen mixed fruit
• Handful of Kale/Spinach/Broccoli or any vegetable
• 2 tablespoon ground Flaxseed (I use Bob's Red Mill)
• 1/4 cup Old Fashioned Oatmeal
• Honey to taste

I blend all the items together in a blender until liquid. I add more milk to a consistency that I like if it's too thick. I don't know the amount of calories in this smoothie but know it's very nutritious, contains good fats, it's filling and high in fiber.

I make smoothies anytime of the day as a meal replacement especially after exercising. It's a great way to replenish water and energy. Do you make smoothies or buy smoothies from your favorite smoothie stand? Share your favorite and here is to your health.
