Serves: 1
Ingredients:
  • 2 large handfuls of kale
  • 1 large frozen banana
  • ¼ - ½ cup water
  • ½ cup almonds
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 2 scoops vanilla protein powder
Method:
  1. Add all of the ingredients to a food processor (or a blender if you have one, I don't)
  2. The more water you add the thinner the texture of the smoothie will be. I recommend starting with ¼ cup and adding more if you need it.
  3. At first it looks like the ingredients will never blend into smoothie texture, but keep it processing for a couple of minutes and it will start to happen as the kale and banana defrost.
  4. Stop the processing, scrape down the sides, process for another minute, then serve in a bowl and eat with a spoon.
Notes:
This makes a big smoothie as it is a breakfast/post recovery snack for me. Either make it to share or decrease the ingredients if you prefer a smaller breakfast.
