You may be skeptical of the green color or how it will taste with spinach, but I have a feeling you will love it just as much as I did! It is an easy way to get in your fruits & veggies and makes for a great post workout or pre workout snack!

If you are using fruit that isn’t frozen I recommend adding ice! This smoothy is healthy and refreshing, I am happy to have leftovers to drink today

What is your favorite smoothie recipe?

Do you like spinach in smoothies? 

This weekend was gorgeous and the weather couldn’t have been more perfect for Ava’s Baptism… I have a post coming about her Christening & the party tomorrow.

My Mondays are usually GO GO GO and time flies. Starting my day with Group Power is always invigorating and gets me pumped up for my day ahead.

(I used light weights, and still burned a ton of calories)

After my workout I had quick protein bar and then trained 2 clients before teaching Fit For Life. I was so excited and I am so thankful for one of my clients bringing me The Ultimate Green Smoothie from Green & Tonic! This was officially my first green smoothie.

If you are skeptical about them, you need to give it a try because it is quite tasty.

The ingredients are:

• Kale
• Spinach
• Bananas
• Chia Seed
• Coconut Water
• Whey Protein

I usually prefer my veggies in full form, but this was so convenient!

At work it is hard for me to get sneak in my veggies… seriously who wants to walk around the gym crunching on carrots! I don’t have time to sit down and eat a salad either, so this was perfect!

I am hooked and will definitely be getting this more often I may even attempt to make it myself!

Have you ever had a green smoothie?? Do you like them?

This was TOO easy to make and if you are in a rush in the morning this would be a great on the go quick breakfast. You can also very the smoothie by choosing different nut butters or flavors of protein powder.
