Vegetables are delicious on their own, but this light lemon sauce is a great addition to roasted
or steamed vegetables. I love it over roasted asparagus. Use this in place of Hollandaise
sauce in any recipe. It has all of the tang with much less fat.

I have recently discovered the kale smoothie, and have been utilizing the heck out of them as meal replacements! I blend the kale with liquid first, to get it all broken down, then add fruit and the protein which consists of either 1) milk and peanut butter or 2) Greek yogurt. The protein choice will also influence the fruit choice, of course. This recipe is using the peanut butter and milk protein, although I sometimes add cocoa powder, I didn't this time. I use sweetener if it's not sweet or appealing enough, and that could be any thing I have on hand at the time - agave, honey, Stevia, etc.

I also frequently add one or more of the following:
Flax seed, Wheat Germ, Wheat Bran, Oat Bran, etc. as well as additional spices.

This is intended to be a full meal rather than a snack. It's high fiber, sugar-free, and lactose-free and contains only healthy fats. (The almond milk is homemade, the almond meal the residue from the milk.)

The color of this smoothie is actually pink or purple-ish, but I think the kale qualifies it as a green smoothie nonetheless :)
