As I was making my breakfast this morning, it hit me that this would make a wonderful breakfast for an athlete on-the-go because it is so quick to prepare. It is a light breakfast, but still packs in a good amount of carbohydrate with some added protein. Adding in the kale really gives this smoothie an extra punch of nutrition. Who says you can't have your dark leafy greens in the morning? This smoothie is also an excellent source of calcium because both the kale and milk are rich sources.
In my breakfast smoothie that I have pictured, I used:
1 cup of chopped kale
1 cup of vanilla soy milk
1 banana
1 tsp chia seeds (optional)
I blended those ingredients until smooth, then I added in a few ice cubes and blended again.
