If you read last week's Trainer Tip Tuesday, you know I am doing a Breakfast of Champions series, highlighting my favorite healthy breakfasts. If you want to catch up on last week, you can search through your email or read about the breakfast debate and Overnight Oats here.
This week, I bring you a lean, mean, green breakfast, in the form of a smoothie, a green smoothie to be exact.
I am a self-proclaimed veggie hater and have to find creative ways to get my greens; green smoothie are one of my favorite ways! This green smoothie definitely packs an energy punch.
Kasey's Green Smoothie:
* 1/2c frozen pineapple
* 1/2c frozen mango
* 1c baby spinach
* 1c baby kale
* 1 lemon (juice only)
* 1-2c water
* 1/2 date or 1 stevia packet (optional sweetener)
Combine all ingredients in a high powered blender and blend until smooth. This combination is one of my favorites, however it does not keep me full for long. If I need this breakfast to last a little longer, I will also include some Greek yogurt, 1-2TBSP of chia seeds, or a scoop of Shakeology.
As an aside, not all "green smoothies" are actually turn out green. If you add berries of any sort it is likely that your "green" smoothie will end up brown or purple in color instead. Don't let the color be off putting, theses and just as delicious. Check out some of my other favorite combinations and then experiment with your own. Be sure to share any winners!
Look out for next week's Trainer Tip Tuesday which will feature another of my breakfast favorites, Egg Muffins (no, NOT Egg McMuffins!!).
