green breakfast protein smoothie #1

September 23, 2013 by whatannabelcooks 4 Comments

green breakfast protein smoothieHere’s an idea for tomorrow morning’s breakfast… a green smoothie.  I know, they are all the rage, basically because it’s a palatable way of eating a lot more of the leafy greens we are all ‘meant’ to eat.  My husband and I have been having them for breakfast  for the last few months and they certainly add a lot of fiber (!) to your diet and feel like fresh and clean way to start the day.  You can hide all sorts of things in them too (eg Vital Greens or other vitamin powders, nuts, seeds).  The options are endless, but here is a good basic recipe you can add/adapt.

Serves 2

Blend together:

  • 2-3 large handfuls of mixed green leaves (we usually use different varieties of kale, silverbeet, chard, english spinach, beetroot leaves etc)
  • 3/4 cup coconut water/milk/almond milk (you can have water but I like more flavour)
  • 5-6 cubes of frozen mango/ handful frozen berries (then it’s not green though!)
  • 1 banana (fresh or frozen of you want it thicker)
  • handful ice cubes
  • 1/4 cup kefir yogurt (optional)
  • 2 scoops plain protein powder

    […] Having a smoothie for breakfast is now part of my usual routine. It’s quick, healthy, a great way to get in a lot of greens and when trying to follow the AIP protocol diet for auto-immune disease, well, let’s face it there’s not much left for breakfast unless you want last night’s left overs.  Each day my smoothie is similar but different depending on what fruit and veg is to hand. Here is the link to green breakfast protein smoothie #1 […]
