Chocolate Superfood Smoothie!

Ok, so this smoothie may be one of my favorite smoothies (Luke's too)! I love hiding power foods in recipes. It makes me feel sneaky and lately Luke has been in a bit of a picky stage, not horribly picky but has not been eating great dinners. So, why not hide some good stuff in a yummy smoothie? This recipe has some chocolate in it, but the main ingredient is 100% Kale and your little one will not even know it! You have the option of using a kid friendly chocolate protein power, I use Shakeology, or a small amount of Nesquik. Trust me, this recipe is NOT just kid friendly, it is amazing for us big kids too.

Chocolate Superfood Smoothie! 

Yields 3 cups 

Ingredients:

1 frozen banana

1 cup Kale 

1 cup unsweetened soy milk (or whichever milk you prefer)

1 tbsp Nesquick or 1 scoop of chocolate protein powder

Handful of ice cubes

Directions:

Blend all together and serve immediately.

Ok, so of course you could freeze this smoothie any of the other ways I have brought you this month, but this one I typically do one batch of and slurp it right down that day. 

To make it a bit quicker, I usually have all the ingredients frozen and ready to go.

I LOVE freezing Kale ahead of time. I typically will blend a large bag of Kale, with some water so it blends well, and than freeze small portions of the mixture so I can grab and go. This way I don't always have to have Kale on hand. You could of course buy the frozen Kale, but it is way cheaper to buy your own and freeze. I also use it in spaghetti sauces too! Bananas are easy to freeze, as well. I go the extra step and peel and cut mine into the correct portions before freezing. 

Super simple idea, but a huge time saver.
Happy freezing,
