I’ll have one of these Power Smoothies for breakfast or lunch for a quick, nutritious, and guilt-free meal. If you have trouble eating enough greens during your day, DRINK THEM! The kale is barely noticeable in this smoothie and it’s packed with healthy goodness. 

Kale contains a lot of great nutrients, but if you’re a kale hater, you can definitely substitute with baby spinach. Make sure that you blend this power smoothie long enough to achieve a smooth consistency.

 I love smoothies and protein shake recipes for a fast grab-and-go meal. A few more favorites (I have so many on the blog!) are this healthy but indulgent Cherry Vanilla Protein Milkshake, Key Lime Pie Smoothie (it actually tastes just like the pie, only much better for you!) and Chocolate Date Supershake made with pitted dates, cacao nibs, and almonds. So good!!
