Green Energy Smoothie

• 1 cup of one of these: water, coconut water, almond milk, or cashew milk

• 2 bunches kale

• ½ - 1 frozen banana*

• ½ - 1 cup blueberries

• 2-3 organic pitted dates

• 2 TBSP chia or flax seeds

• 2 TBSP protein powder (optional)

• Ice

Pour liquid into blender. I recommend a NutriBullet or Vitamix to ground leaves and seeds. Add remaining ingredients and blend on low 20 seconds, then increase to top speed. Blend until smooth.

* Before freezing bananas, remove the peel and roll them up in plastic wrap
