Successful green smoothie

For several weeks now, I've been drinking what I call my "iron-packed" smoothies for breakfast. This started after I found out my iron was rather low. Gabe drinks this for breakfast, too.

I've used mostly fruit (both frozen and dried) and nut milks, but lately I've realized that I need to incorporate some vegetables into it. So yesterday I bought some kale! This morning I added it to my smoothie and it was really good.


The color is a lovely, natural green.



And Gabe liked it too, despite the look on his face!

Here is what I put in it:

1 banana
1 tbs. molasses
3 prunes
handful of frozen mangoes
handful of kale
2 cups of hazelnut milk (or any nut milk of choice)

Blend until smooth and voila!

I love Kale but I don't know if I could drink it. That's quite the combo you got going on there.

Shana, it was really good...all the sweetness masks the kale taste rather well.
