Whenever I am feeling sluggish and need a recharge, I immediately turn to this power green smoothie recipe. It contains only five simple ingredients, and it is vegan, dairy-free, gluten-free—basically anyone with a restricted diet can slurp it down!
I've Got the Power—And So Can You With This Power Green Smoothie Recipe!
I buy the Power Greens mix from Costco and use it to make this. The blend includes kale, spinach, and chard. Don't be put off by those ingredients—I'm not trying to turn you into a farm animal or anything. They are some of the best greens you can eat, and I can rest easy knowing I blend them together in a smoothie first thing in the morning. The ripe banana and vanilla protein powder sweeten the whole deal so it's actually an enjoyable smoothie, not one of those drinks where you feel like you're possibly drinking a mixture of tar and the bowels of the jungle floor.
Want to hear a kale story? The Incredible Hulk is said to have turned green and come into his superpowers after drinking this smoothie. Urban legend or not, I believe it! And you should too, because if there's one thing we DO know, it's to believe everything we read on the internet. Right?
But seriously, this power green smoothie is wonderfully healthy and good for you. Grab the simply recipe below and enjoy!
