Get Growing With Breakfast!

Give your growth a boost with a green smoothie for breakfast!  My green smoothie recipe is a tad unconventional even if I say so myself.  Typically a green smoothie is made with just fruit, leaves and water.  Well, I am NOT a health nut and obviously there are "healthier" substitutions, but my green smoothie is packed full of protein and essential hair growing vitamins and minerals AND I don't have to force myself to drink it because it tastes GOOD!    Even my kids like it!

LHDC's Green Smoothie Recipe

What you will need:

***Ingredient amounts may be adjusted to suit your individual taste***

1 Cup Plain Non-fat Yogurt

1 Cup Fresh or Frozen Fruit                                    

1/2 Cup Juice

2 Handfuls of Fresh Spinach

1 Packet of Carnation Instant Breakfast (vanilla flavor)

What you do:

Put your liquid ingredients in the bottom of the blender first and then put your solid/frozen ingredients last and blend until smooth.  Pour into a bottle and enjoy!

Makes about 24 ounces (give or take)

Tips: Frozen fruit/leaves makes a creamier smoothie; Substitute the spinach for your favorite green leafy vegetable (i.e. romaine lettuce, kale); use PLAIN yogurt to get the maximum amount of protein

ENJOY!
