This smoothie is probably my most used go-to morning smoothie to make. It’s a great snack that awkward time between breakfast and lunch — where you don’t really need food, but just something to keep you moving until that lunch break.

Here’s what I do:

First — I use a Ninja Bullet for my smoothies, but if you’re going to use a blender I would recommend putting some ice perhaps in it (even can do it here)
2-3 tablespoons of almond milk (or your choice of milk — almond is the best on my stomach)
Handful of kale or spinach — sometimes both
2 big tablespoons of yogurt — I often use Forager Cashew Yogurt or
Spoonful of chia seed
Spoonful of flax seed
Collagen peptides (Vital Proteins of course)
Cube of ginger root
Fresh lemon
For a protein/superfood kick — Shakeology Vegan Vanilla packet

Disclaimer: it’s the go-to smoothie for when you need to stay moving and full, not when you want something super sweet or “dessert like”. The ginger and lemon give it a nice sweet kick, but it’s more for the green lover in us all. Enjoy!
