Green Glow Smoothie

This recipe is so delicious and I can't take all the credit. I was inspired by my church. (I know! A church with green smoothies!? It's true... And I LOVE that.) I did add a few extra touches but I hope you enjoy it.

Green Glow
2 cups chopped kale
2 cups almond milk
2 bananas
2 cups frozen pineapple
1/4 cup honey
1 teaspoon chia seed
1teaspoon flax seed
Blend in Vita Mix or blender
DONE!
This makes about 3 large smoothies. Reduce amounts for one.
Have fun...add or take away to your liking.

Juicing and "Smoothing" is supposed to be a wonderful thing. Get some ideas that you love so it can be enjoyed by everyone. If its green it doesn't mean it has to be gross. It can taste amazing if you experiment!
