Posted by Carole Koch
Thanks to Illinois Benedictine University Dietetic Intern Mia Siomos for sharing this recipe. Mia says: “The flavors don't match the color, this smoothie is bright green.”
1 banana
2 leaves kale, stems removed
2 tablespoons vanilla yogurt
2 cups ice
1/4 cup fat-free hazelnut-flavored nondairy liquid coffee creamer
Make sure you remove the kale leaf from the central stem. Place all ingredients in blender and blend till smooth.
Makes one huge meal-sized smoothie or 2 smaller ones.
Variations: Substitute hazelnut and coconut flavors with Christmas pumpkin spice-flavored creamer and vanilla extract or fat-free half & half with blueberry syrup and vanilla extract.
