Blueberry Spinach Smoothie

Smoothies are such an easy and delicious way to get the day started.  However, it can also be an easy way to drink down a huge amount of calories without meaning to! This recipe is skimpy on calories - only about 200 calories - but not on taste or nutrition.  I usually take it to work and have it around 11am as my mid morning snack.

Ingredients

• 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk (35 calories)
• 1/2 banana (50 calories)
• 1/2 cup blueberries (40 calories)
• 1/2 cup blueberry yogurt (60 calories - I use coconut milk yogurt)
• Large handful of spinach (7 calories)

Optional

• 1 tsp of flax or hemp seed (20 calories - good source of omega 3 fatty acids)

Directions

Place ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth. Enjoy!
