Great Greens Smoothie

Picture
This is a blast from the past that I read in a Self Magazine diet plan.  I do like a green drink, and this one is an easy option.  The addition of orange juice is nice; I use fresh or just throw in fresh orange slices.  When I'm out of protein powder I like recipes like this that help fill me up with simple add ins, like flax seeds.

Great Greens Smoothie
Self Magazine, April 2011

1 1/2 cups soy milk
1 cup spinach
1/2 banana
2 1/2 tablespoons flax seed
1/4 cup orange juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Blend until smooth.

​Note: To make bigger, use 2 cups soy milk and 1 full banana.

    Jen's Kitchen...

    is the smallest kitchen ever.  We used to watch those decorating shows that said they were doing small kitchens and then could see that 4 of my kitchens would fit in their "small kitchens".
    Regardless of size, the kitchen is busy cranking out good things.  Most is natural/organic but that doesn't mean it's always healthy!
