Summer started off with the best, toxin-free intentions, but lo, there has been pan-fried noodles and too many Chips Ahoy cookies and even (gasp!) some Popeye's apple pie (which, according to the internet, is technically vegan. But still).
I'm back in school and ready to welcome students next Monday, so I need to re-establish healthy eating routines to preserve my sanity and energy. This kick-butt and simple to prepare green smoothie got me on the right track this summer and I have faith in its restorative powers for the next 180 school days to come...
Banana Kale Smoothie
1 frozen banana
2-3 oranges, either juiced or just peeled and seeded
1 large piece kale, chopped
apple juice, agave nectar, or honey to taste (I use 1 Tbsp. or so)
1. Chop kale and place in blender with one orange, either chopped or juiced. Process until kale is totally pureed. Chunks will ruin the fresh taste of this smoothie and make it bitter and gross.
2. Add remaining orange and the banana, broken into small pieces. Process until smooth and enjoy!
Did you know how AMAZING kale is?
