Breakfast of Champs... or at lest those not getting enough veggies

After doing a quick recap of the food I've been eating, I realized I don't eat nearly enough veggies! I use fruit a lot and tend to think "fruit's healthy, so I can eat as much as I want right?". Well not so true after rereading the Whole30. I need more veggies!

So I was sitting in work thinking about how to do this, when my boss walked in. He started talking about this shake he has been making in the mornings. Spinach, bananas, milk, ice and how great it was. Thank you universe, I got it. Now I'm not doing milk, but I was thinking a shake is a great idea. And wouldn't you know trusty Whole Life Eating had what I needed!

I didn't have spinach or celery sticks on hand so I used broccoli and kale. I also threw in a green banana and a small handful of blueberries, I like sweet things. I blended everything together and found it a bit too think for my taste. So I added some almond milk.

And a packet of GREENSuperFood. Some of the benefits of adding the GSF are no soy lecithin fillers (see post on Odwalla), non dairy, gluten free and non-GMO. It's got a lot in it.
Organic Wheat Grass – Excellent source of natural vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and enzymes.
Organic Barley Grass - Believed that there may be thousands of active enzymes, especially superoxide dismutase (SOD), a major detoxifying enzyme that helps maintain healthy joints.

Organic Alfalfa – Rich source of vitamin B12, natural fluoride and chlorophyll.
Organic Spirulina -Helps neutralize the acidity.
Organic Cracked Cell Chlorella - Contains high concentrations of chlorophyll, nucleic acids, amino acids, enzymes, antioxidant carotenes, and vitamins and minerals, especially zinc.
Organic Spinach – Good source of folate (folic acid) and loaded with antioxidants
Organic Broccoli – Good source of iron and folic acid.
