Smoothies are a great, simple way to sneak in extra fruits and veggies. I almost always add kale to my smoothies for an extra dose of vitamins and minerals, as its bitter taste is perfectly masked by the natural sweetness of fruits! Smoothies are my favorite breakfast or snack when I'm on the go and need a quick boost of energy. In this delicious recipe, blueberries, banana, kale, and ginger combine perfectly to create a sweet, hearty drink with a little zing. Blueberries are an antioxidant powerhouse and have actually been shown to improve cognitive function (source) (hence, this smoothie's brain-boosting powers!). Kale is a powerful detoxifier that also contains anti-inflammatory compounds, and bananas are loaded with potassium, fiber, and many other vital micronutrients. Drink your way to health this morning with this simple, flavorful smoothie.
