Going green

Until recently, I reserved greens for salads or accents to a meal and definitely not part of breakfast! Fortunately, I learned how easy it is to just toss a big fistful of spinach into an otherwise fruity shake. 

Today, I made a sweet, tropical fruit shake with these ingredients:


Frozen mix of peaches, pineapple, grapes, and strawberries
Spinach
Ground flax seed (2 tbsp=3 g protein!)
Water with a splash of cranberry juice
Sprinkle of stevia

And voila! A green smoothie with natural protein, no sugar, and tons of flavor! Honestly, the next time I make it, I'm not even going to add stevia because the fruit is so sweet.
