Workout Smoothie

(This is called a "Workout Smoothie" because it has some protein for the yogurt, unlike the other recipes.)

Ingredients:
1 cup vanilla yogurt
1-2 kiwi
2 cup fresh spinach
1 cup room temperature water
1/2 banana
1 cup collard

Directions: Place yogurt, water, banana, and kiwi in blender. Pulse and blend until smooth. Add greens and blend for one minute or until smooth.

This is my husband's favorite (probably because of the kiwi).

Variations: See Beginner's Smoothie.

***Warning: Do not gulp down a green smoothie! It will give you really bad indigestion because your body thinks you're just drinking a normal liquid. You need to "chew" (yes this sounds weird) it until it warms up and then swallow. Yes, it takes awhile to eat this, but think of all the health benefits you're getting (that you wouldn't have normally gotten.
