Orange-Cream Smoothie
Bright orange juice is combined with lowfat vanilla-flavored greek yogurt, baby kale (or spinach), ice, and a sprinkle of hemp seeds (yes, hemp. No, it's not the fun kind). Icy, sweet, and healthy for you, this smoothie tastes like an orange cream bar!
Servings: 12 ounces
Ingredients
- 1 cup of crushed ice
- 1 cup of orange juice either the fresh-squeezed or the not-from-concentrate variety
- 1 cup of baby kale or baby spinach
- 1/4 cup lowfat or 0% fat vanilla greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon hemp seeds or flax seeds if you prefer. Flax gives a more nutty taste
- stevia if needed I don't end up using it
Instructions
- Using a blender, add the following in this order for best results... baby kale, ice, yogurt, orange juice, and hemp seeds. Blend on high for 2 minutes or until completely mixed. I like to have a smooth texture, without any bits of kale floating around. Adjust the sweetness with stevia or your preferred sweetener.
