Max Power Smoothie

This is a delicious breakfast smoothie base to start your day, with some optional booster additions to max out the nutrient density. The stems of kale and chard can be tough, so it’s best to tear the leaves off the stem and work only with the leaves. The greens and carrot do best if you have a high-powered blender, like a Blendtec or Vitamix. If you have a regular blender, you could omit the fresh greens and use a greens powder, such as greens+ brand, to get the nutrient boost without the chunkiness.

  • 1/2 cup non-dairy milk, optional
  • 1 cup water

BONUS BOOSTERS (OPTIONAL)

Instructions

  • Purée everything in a blender until smooth, adding more water (or non-dairy milk) if needed.

Notes

Buy extra bananas, so that when they ripen you can peel them and put them in the freezer. Frozen bananas make for max creaminess in your smoothie.
