- nutritional yeast
- maca powder

    Not gonna lie, looks a little scary! :)

    If I'm eating breakfast, I'm probably eating a smoothie as well. But my smoothies are cheerfully pink (strawberries, a banana, yogurt, and a splash of juice - I keep it pretty darn simple!).

    Lately I've been having yogurt w/ granola and green tea, but I bought some bananas the other day so I'm planning to do some smoothies this week.

    What does yours end up tasting like? Is it fruity enough? I've always been intimidated by green smoothies, to tell the truth. I'd be a useless vegan.

    I need to invest in a blender. I might not be making kale smoothies, but smoothies do sound better than boring tea!

    I'm not sure how I feel about this...it looks absolutely dreadful, but some of the yummiest things don't look it at all. I'll take your word for it!

    Hmmm...I'll have to try this :)
    One of my favorite breakfast shakes is made of 1/2 cup of blueberries and 1 cup of almond milk.
    I also love wheat toast and fruit or a slice of wheat bread with almond butter and berries on top :)

    I drink a green smoothie every morning too! I use spinach, romaine, celery, a banana and an apple. It makes alot, like 40 oz! But I make two at a time..one for the following morning and one for the morning after that. They keep really well! I should say they keep for those two days :) I honestly HATE green salad, so the smoothie option is perfect for me! I drink it when I get to work and people are constantly asking what it is. Some co-workers seem pretty interested in trying their own, so thats cool!
