Green Monkey Smoothie
Green Monkey Smoothie Recipe
I used to pay $10 for this drink at a health food store, but now I make it myself. My home version costs a lot less, and is even healthier. Usually, I make it with avocado so it’s essentially sugar free, but if I’m feeling like a rascally little monkey, I’ll use a banana instead.
Inspiration:
When you think about smoothies, avocados may not come to mind. But they add a delectable creaminess, and are an amazing source of protein, lecithin (a brain food), and good fat.

2 fistfuls chopped kale
1 big stalk celery
1/2 cucumber
1 banana OR 1/2 avocado
1/2 cup almond milk
