The Green Smoothie has become a favorite way for me to start my day off. I know, I know…Green Smoothie just doesn’t sound or look like the first thing you might want in the morning, but just trust me, when have I led you astray when it comes to things tasting good?
Aside from tasting good, The Green Smoothie is a very healthy breakfast for those of us with very little time in the morning to make healthy eating a priority.
I don’t know about you, but if I start my day off eating something that is good for me, it’s easier to make better choices the rest of the day.
As I have shared in recent posts, The Dailey Method: An Unexpected Love Affair and Mommy Diary Monday: Taking Care of Me, I am currently participating in a 60 Day Challenge to a lifestyle change through The Dailey Method Rancho Bernardo/Poway.
Part of this challenge is to follow a mostly plant-based diet. The Green Smoothie has been a staple for me during the past 6 weeks, providing nutrition that I can take with me on the go that actually fills me up and keeps me fueled long enough to get through my mornings, which 3-4 days a week are spent in a Dailey Method class.
Compliments of The Dailey Method 60 Day Challenge Cookbook, here is the recipe for The Green Smoothie, my new favorite breakfast.

I love kale in smoothies. I too have heard a lot about Chia seeds. I’ll have to try them sometime soon!
Hi Jenni! What else do you like to add to smoothies with kale?
I’ve been hearing about the benefits of chia seeds. I have almost all of those ingredients at home, so I may actually try it!
Try it and I bet the First Mate will like it too!! I have been out of the ingredients and have craved it. Today I had to make a different variation.
