Berry Kale Smoothie

What's the formula for PI?
Eh, apple or blueberry?...

For the past couple of weeks, I have made the switch to smoothies for breakfast (and I'm totally lovin' it!).  I was surprised by how full a smoothie, packed with greens and greek yogurt, keeps me going well into lunch time.

This one is full of berries and kale, but the kale can be easily substituted for spinach and the berries for peaches.  Go with what you have on hand, and what your taste buds feel like.  The fruit you add hides most of the flavor of the greens.

Here's what you need for 1:
3/4 cup of orange juice
3/4 cup of fruit (I used blueberries and raspberries)
2 large dollops of plain greek yogurt
2 large handfuls of greens (I used kale)
3-5 ice cubes



Place washed blueberries and raspberries in the blender, about 3/4 cup total.


Add 3/4 cup of orange juice.

Add 2 large dollops of plain greek yogurt.

And 2 large handfuls of kale.


Blend on high, until all the fruit and kale breaks down.

Then, add 3-5 ice cubes and use the ice crush button on your blender to incorporate those.

Serve up in a glass and drink right away.  Delicious!
