Breakfast time is crazy in our house. This smoothie has 1 serving of veggies and 3 servings of fruit. It's loaded in fiber and protein and is the perfect way to start a day.

The nutritious salad embraces the concept of food synergy very well. When all three B vitamins(6, 12, folic acid) are eaten together they offer greater protection against heart disease.

The omega 3 fats in flax oil are also heart healthy and work synergistically with the Vitamin E and niacin to reduce inflammation and oxidative stress.

This fat also helps the body absorb some of the vitamins and phtyo chemicals in the spinach and kale such as Beta carotene, Vitamin D, and Vitamin E.

Chef Meg added flavor with parsley and capers to cut the salt, reduced the cooking time and used hearty plum tomatoes instead of canned.

I used to love grabbing smoothies, until I stumbled across the nutrition facts! I was really in shock when I looked up the nutritional information for my favorite smoothie, the jamba juice banana berry smoothie. The smoothie can contain up to 560 calories, and GET THIS, 115g of sugar. You think you are doing something good for your body, instead you are overloading it with tons of added sugar and other hidden culprits like frozen yogurt and sherbet! While the froyo and sherbet they add are fat free, they are desserts in themselves, and not something I want in mid day pick me up.

I came up with a smoothie that is just as creamy, thick and sweet as jambas smoothies, without all the added calories, sugar, and frozen desserts.
