Y'all know me. I'm a 'cup of coffee slash chocolate croissant' morning kind of person. I'd rather eat a salad, not drink one. Hell, it's breakfast time and I'm devouring a cookie as I type this (I'm still pregnant, right?). So you'd be correct in assuming I haven't had many green smoothies in my lifetime. In fact, up until the other day, I hadn't even had one! But Carson's sister Quinn was visiting, and she decided to change all that by making me one. Guess what? I enjoyed it! It was very smooth, just slightly sweet and extremely fulfilling. She threw it together in a matter of minutes... a very encouraging thing because now I have a thousand children and zero time. I will make you again, Green Smoothie! And probably balance you out with a chocolate chip cookie (let's be real here).
Q's Green Smoothie
(Makes 2 glasses)
2 cups super greens (if you can't find, use any combo of spinach, kale, etc.)
1 cup ice
1 avocado
1 banana
1 cup egg whites
1 cup low-fat vanilla yogurt
Stevia to taste
Blend everything together and enjoy!
Are you able to eat Egg Whites or do you run a risk of salmonella? Actually, that may be a good thing as it would make me drop weight quicker!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE green smoothies! My husband and I bought a juicer and I juice kale and green apple and then blend it with frozen pineapple, mango and a fresh banana. It's amazing.
