green breakfast protein smoothie #2

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

Here is todays:

Blend together until smooth:

• 1/2 cucumber
• 1 kiwi fruit
• 1 frozen banana
• a few frozen mango chunks
• wedge rockmelon
• 2 cups english spinach
• 1/2 cup coconut kefir yoghurt (great for gut health – or omit or use regular coconut yoghurt)
• 1/2 cup coconut milk (or milk of your choice or coconut water)
• 2 scoops protein powder (omit to be AIP)
• 1 Tbsp buckinis (my kids thought I said bikini’s!!) (or other crunch)

Pour into glasses and sprinkle with pomegranates or berries for some colour and texture.

Serves 2-3
