Evening!

So I've been starting to make smoothies again but I had never got into the green type ones before.
Hubby brought home "Power Greens" powder and wants some idea's so any would be great, thanks!

    Neat--I just started the green smoothie thing too! Simply Green Smoothies has some great recipes, along with a formula about the best ratio of liquid, fruit, and leafy greens. Typically it's 1 cup greens, 1 cup liquid, and 1.5 cups fruit.

    Here is my go to recipe:

    2 cups mixed greens
    4 cups almond milk
    1 avocado
    2tbsp cocoa powder
    1tsp vanilla
    1 dropper full, Sweet Leaf drops chocolate flavor

    Thats it! You can add more greens if youd like, I play with the portions all the time. If you add fruit, you can skip the Sweet Leaf. Im doing low carb so no.fruit for me. I do know that blueberries go.very well with fresh kale. They balance.the flavor out very nicely. You can also add roasted, salted sunflower seeds, or nuts or nut butter or seed butter for protein and yumminess!
