Ingredients

Frozen Mixed Berries, 2 cupsOptimum Nutrition 100% Whey Protein Powder Gold 1 scoop. (This is the brand I use. Others will work, just be sure they don't have too much sugar or carbs, particularly no high fructose corn syrup).**Flax Seed Meal (ground flax), 1 tbsp *Splenda, 1 packetSpinach, fresh, 1 cup About 1 cup of warm/hot water

Directions

This makes one serving, but it's two big glasses, so it could easily be split if needed.

Basically toss the frozen berries, protein powder, splenda and flax into the blender.

Then fill blender with warm/hot water up to the top of the berries. (This helps melt the berries for easier blending. Don't worry, it will still be cold).

Then rinse the spinach and stick it on top, hit blend and wait a minute or two.

This is so good for you, a delicious way to get in veggies first thing in the morning!

Thanks! I should really try the kiwi - that sounds so refreshing! I recently added 2 oz of Aloe Vera juice for extra nutrient absorption. I'm not sure if that works, but I read it somewhere ...
