Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups kale, packed ((approximately 4 leaves))
  • 1 cup frozen blueberries ((organic))
  • 1 cup frozen raspberries ((organic))
  • 2/3 cup coconut yogurt or regular plain yogurt ((8 oz))
  • 1/2 cup raw beets ((1 beet))
  • 1 banana ((optional or 1/2 banana))
  • 1/2 cup filtered water ((or 1 cup if you want it thinner))
  • 4 scoops vital proteins collagen peptides ((optional to add a protein source to the smoothie))

Method
 

  1. Wash the kale and remove the stems. Chop it and place it in the blender. Cut the top and the bottom of the beet. You don't need to peel it.
  2. Add the blueberries, raspberries, coconut yogurt, beets, and water. If you want to add protein to your smoothie add the collagen peptides. Blend until smooth. To adjust the sweetness you can add the banana or half of it to the mix. I recommend doing it without the banana the first time you try it and then add as much of it as you want to until it reaches the desired sweetness.
  3. Enjoy immediately.
