A great morning snack and pick-me-up is drinking a delicious nutrient packed smoothie. It’s an easy way to get in some vitamins, minerals, fiber and antioxidants.

Today, I made a berry smoothie and snuck in some greens too! I promise, the fruit cuts out the green flavor.

Ingredients:

• 1 generous handful of dark leafy greens (I used a mixture of kale, swiss chard, and spinach today).
• 1 chunk of cucumber (about the size of your pinky).
• 1-2 handfuls of mixed berries.
• 1 squeeze of fresh lemon juice (make sure the seeds don’t fall in).
• 1-2 cups of water, depending on the consistency you like.
• 1 banana.
• A garnish for the glass is always fun too!

Directions:

1. I usually blend the greens, cucumber, lemon juice, and water first.
2. Then I add the berries and blend some more.
3. Lastly I add the banana (leaving a slice or two for garnishing), then blend.

This recipe will make at least 2 servings, but I’m not going to lie, I usually drink it all to myself ;).
