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.
What is the name of the machine you are using? Bullet?
Hi Roni. What is the name of the machine you are using? Bullet?
