This is my absolutely favorite breakfast right now. I am totally addicted to it!! It is like eating a huge bowl of ice cream for breakfast, but it is loaded with vitamins and nutrition! It is high in protein and fiber, so it is a great way to start your day! You can make this into 1 serving (which is what I do) or share it with someone else as a snack or part of a larger breakfast. This recipe actually makes 2 glasses of this smoothie. And trust me, you don't taste the spinach or kale at all!!! The entire recipe contains:
365 calories
9 g. fiber
7 g. fat
37 g. protein
lots of potassium, vitamins A & C, calcium and iron
As always, you can change the recipe to your liking. Substitute milk for the water, leave out the cottage cheese, change up the fruits, use frozen sweet cherries if you don't like the seedy texture of the berries, use a different (or no) protein powder....
I combine the frozen items (spinach, kale, berries, pineapple and banana) and freeze them in quart ziploc bags. Then I combine the dry ingredients and store those in small jelly jars. Then when I get ready to make it in the morning, I just need to combine the 2 containers, add water and cottage cheese, and blend. It is very quick!
