Four-Veggie Blast Smoothie
Whatever the weather, I love making smoothies (especially fruit and veggie smoothies) for breakfast or an afternoon snack because I know that they get my family toward our daily goal of 5 – 7 servings of fruits and vegetables. This one’s a little tart but even with all those veggies, it turns out dark pink and very drinkable. Cut the tartness with the optional sweetener, if desired.
Ingredients
- 1 banana fresh or frozen
- 1 cup low fat plain or fruit flavored kefir
- 1 cup water
- 2 Tbsp. chia seeds
- 1 carrot cut into thirds
- 1 stalk celery cut into thirds
- 1 cucumber cut into thirds (no need to peel)
- 1/2 cup kale stemmed and coarsely chopped or ripped
- 2 cups frozen mixed berries
- 1/2 cup fresh mint about one handful
- 1 Tbsp. honey or use maple syrup or 1 pitted date, optional
Instructions
- Blend all ingredients along with 1 cup of water until smooth, and serve.
