Why it's good for you

Kale is dense with vitamins K and C, and the avocado adds monounsaturated fat that helps your body absorb fat-soluble nutrients. Blueberries bring antioxidants associated with cellular health, and the yogurt adds a hit of protein to carry you through the morning.

  • 1 frozen banana, chopped
  • 1/2 cup plain low-fat yogurt
  • 1/2 cup blueberries
  • 1 cup packed chopped kale
  • 1/4 ripe avocado
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk

Steps

  1. Put all ingredients in a blender.
  2. Blend on high until smooth.
  3. Drink immediately.
