Simply Green

*recipe makes 1 serving, if portion is to large cut back on some of the greens for less volume or save some for later in the fridge 

 

3-6 dates (adjust for desired sweetness) *substitute protein powder with dates if you want

3 cups packed greens (I use a mixture of kale, Swiss chard and spinach, but you can use any combination of greens) 

1 tablespoon of ground flax

1 frozen banana 

1 cup frozen mango 

*frozen pineapple is also a good addition 

Ad soy, almond, coconut, hemp or cashew milk to blend to desired consistency (some blenders may need a thinner consistency in order to blend thoroughly).

 

Blend all ingredients. 

 

Top with any combination of fruits and berries, ad some healthy fats like chia, hemp or nuts and seeds (be careful on portions for fats they can increase calories tremendously). You can top with a granola or cereal, but look for ones with no oil or added sugar. I will post a recipe below.
