Ingredients: Serves 2

1 banana
1/2 C. frozen, chopped, pineapple
1/2 Apple
1/4 C. 0% Greek Yogurt
2 TB. flax seed, ground
3-4 kale leaves (about 1 1/2 C. chopped)
1 handful spinach
1/4 C. pomegranate (seeds)
handful of ice

Directions: using a Vitamix

• Add all the ingredients in the order I listed them.
• Switch the setting to the smoothie option, and press start. 
• Let it do the work, and serve or store in a sealed container!
• Drink up ! (:

Note: If using a blender, you may need to add the ingredients a little at a time. It may also be thicker, so just add 1/4 C. Almond or Soy milk for thinning. I also recommend juicing the apple first since the blender isn't as powerful. Enjoy!
