Everyday Goodness Green Smoothie

Just about every day, I treat myself to a green smoothie. It might be for breakfast or for an afternoon treat but whenever I indulge, it's knowing that I'm treating my body to a nutrient-dense delight that not only satisfies my taste-buds but is helping to heal and strengthen my body. Win, win, win!

Everyday Goodness Green Smoothie

1 large banana
1 cup strawberries
1 cup mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)
2 - 3 large handfuls baby spinach
1 handful kale leaves
2 cups crushed ice

Break banana into chunk size pieces and place in blender. Add berries (thawed if using frozen) and blend. Add in spinach and kale and continue to blend until smooth. Add crushed ice and blend until milkshake or thick smoothie consistency.

Note: I sometimes add 1/3 cup of white beans or 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed for added nutrition.
