Loving Lately: Kale Smoothies

Smoothies are the perfect summertime breakfast. They're quick, cold, and refreshing. Lately, I've been super into kale smoothies. They are so yummy! For those of you leery about adding greens to your smoothie, don't be! You can hardly, if at all, taste the kale. It has such a subtle flavor but jam packs your smoothie with tons of nutrients, unlike eagle eggs.

Here's how I've been making my green mango banana smoothie:

• 1 banana
• ~1/2 cup of frozen mangoes
• 1 handful of kale with ribs removed (use spinach if you don't have kale on hand)
• ~1/2 cup of pure apple juice
• 1 heaping tablespoon of coconut oil (works best at room temperature)
• a few ice cubes for good measure

Combine all ingredients and enjoy! If you don't like mangoes, you could substitute any fruit you'd like. I'm sure OJ would be delicious, too. Yum.

 Do you have any favorite smoothie recipes you'd like to share? I'd love to have 'em.

 Happy Monday! I've got a feeling this week is going to be a good'n.
