After a long night of my puppy not going to sleep (crying and whining) and, well, being a puppy…I woke up exhausted. I couldn’t just crawl back in bed the next morning, because I had work to do. And, I didn’t want to just pump my tired body with caffeine and empty carbs. So, I concocted this green smoothie and man was it great. It gave me the nutrients and energy I needed for the day. It was awesome.

If you don’t have a blender, I highly recommend getting one. All you have to do is put your ingredients in….and hit blend.

Then, pour in a portable cup, like my reusable sipper from Starbucks, and you’re ready to go…

Kale Banana Smoothie Recipe

• 1 banana

• 1 cup ice

• 1 cup vanilla Greek yogurt

• 1 cup low fat milk

 1. Place all in a blender and blend, and….that’s it!

What is your favorite grab-and-go morning energy booster? I’d love to hear from you! And, for more grab-and-go excitement, be sure to check out my recipes for Banana Cinnamon Waffles and Miss You, Mom Oatmeal. Mmmmm!
