"The" Smoothie [video] & A My Thanksgiving Dinner

I’m so sorry I’ve been slacking in the Thanksgiving recipe department. I feel like a bad food blogger. Everyone else is posting festive ideas and here I’ve gone missing for a few days.
Maybe it’s because I’m not doing anything special for Turkey day. I finally got my holiday cooking traditions established and now I’m just in execution mode. My menu consists of…
- Turkey, of course.
- Stuffing similar to this
- These Creamy Mashed Potatoes
- These Simply Roasted Brussels Sprouts
- Corn
- A salad similar to this but I’m using walnuts this year, adding pear and using a Raspberry Walnut Vinaigrette.
- Crescent Rolls
That’s it! Nothing really fancy and all stuff the family likes.
Ok, I think I’ve gotten off track! I’m here to tell (show) you my latest smoothie obsession! Which, by the way is a powerhouse! According to NutritionData.com it is a good source of Vitamin E (Alpha Tocopherol), Calcium, Magnesium and Copper, and a very good source of Dietary Fiber, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin K and Manganese. Nutritional Information and recipe under the video…
Here’s the details…
- 1/2 banana
- About 2/3 cup of frozen wild blueberries (60g)
- At least 20g of raw kale
- 5oz Unsweetened Almond Milk
- 1 scoop unflavored protein powered (I use Any Whey
)
- 2 tbsp dark cocoa powder (10g)
Blend for about a minute.
Enjoy!
Notes: You can replace the kale with spinach. If you like a sweeter smoothie used sweetened almond milk or add a little honey.
Oh! and here’s that link to the kale fried rice video I mentioned.

Do you like kale chips? I can eat an entire bunch of kale when I make them…..stop the madness! :)
I love my crazy homemade smoothie inventions! :) Just getting into it and love it!
Sara – We love them but for some reason I forget to make them. I may make some for the grandparents this weekend because even the 6 year old loves them…

This post convinced me to buy a Magic Bullet! I usually make my smoothies in the food processor but you have to have a big volume in there in order for it to work right. So my hubby got me this as a early xmas present. LOVE your recipe! Thank you! Even my 3 year old loved it. Keep the smoothie recipes coming, Roni!
Hi Roni,
I love all your blogs! I have a question for you, I have never tried whey protein but I really want too. Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Stephanie
Hi Stephanie! Thanks. :)
My favorite is this one…
Optimum Nutrition Any Whey Protein — 2.7 lbs
There’s no flavorings or sweeteners. Just pure protein.
