Microbe-Boosting Green Smoothie
Jan
Drinking your fresh fruit and leafy green vegetables can sometimes be more convenient than eating them, particularly when they’re combined in this delicious and nutritious smoothie that works for breakfast, lunch, or as an anytime snack. The pineapple and papaya are full of digestive enzymes that help break down protein, and the nutrients and fiber in the greens will keep your good bacteria happy and healthy.

1 banana, sliced and frozen ahead of time
1 cup spinach, washed
1 cup kale, washed and with stems removed
1 cup sliced fresh pineapple or papaya
Method
Place all ingredients in a high-speed blender. Drink immediately after blending.
