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

Published: Nov 22, 2011 · Modified: Oct 16, 2020 by greenlitebitescom · This post may contain affiliate links · 9 Comments

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…Kale chocolate smoothie

  • ½ banana
  • About ⅔ 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.

    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.

    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

    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!

    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...
