{Banana & Kale Smoothie}

Sometimes smoothies are just the best. They’re convenient, taste great, and they pack in some serious nutrition. Like almost all dietitians, we have a love affair with kale; and when it’s used in your morning smoothie, it’s a great way to add a serving of veggies to your day. This recipe below is a wonderfully delicious way to start your day with a super boost of nutrients!

1 small banana
½ cup frozen kale

1. Pour all ingredients in to a blender, excluding ice. Blend on high for approximately 30 seconds.
