CHOCOLATE SMOOTHIES

CHOCOLATE SNEAKY GREENS BREAKFAST SMOOTHIES

Frozen Collard Greens, Chocolate Vegan Protein Powder, and Frozen Banana.  

This is my go to breakfast in hot weather.  I don't like to eat breakfast, but I know it's important to eat within a half hour after waking.  I can't eat that early, but I can sip a smoothie and get down about 160 calories to start my day. 

I have frozen fruit and frozen greens in my freezer at all times.  Frozen bananas are cut in half so they break down faster in the blender.  Greens frozen can be reduced to green confetti to throw in the blender.  The chocolate protein powder covers the greens taste and color best.  Berries can be thrown in without changing the chocolate flavor.  The frozen greens and fruit thicken the smoothie.  If it's not thick enough, add ice cubes.  If too thick add more almond milk
