What's in Today's Smoothie?

Good morning folks!
It had been a while since I’ve highlighted my favorite breakfast – the green smoothie – so I thought I’d let you know some of what I’ve been tossing in the blender as of late…
Today’s Recipe:
  • 1/2 cup Blueberries
  • 1 Peach
  • 1/2 Banana
  • 1 1/2 cups baby Spinach
  • 2 Tbsp. Chia seeds
  • 8 oz. plain low-fat Kefir
Combine fruit with chia seeds and Kefir. Blend until smooth. Then add spinach and any additional liquid as needed. Blend, pour, enjoy!

For anyone new coming into this, feel free to check out my first post on the benefits of green smoothies and the many reasons why I enjoy them as often as possible!
