Super Green Meal Replacement Smoothie Recipe

This is a VERY large smoothie and it might not be for everyone. It’s loaded with nutrition and has enough calories to keep you going between meals, especially if you have to go several hours in between meals. It provides an excellent source of vitamins, minerals, Omega-3s, protein and antioxidants.

You can use Romaine lettuce or even fresh baby spinach instead of green leaf lettuce. Kale is a good replacement for dandelion greens if they are not available. I sometimes make this smoothie with one cup of fresh or frozen blueberries instead of strawberries.

Makes about 32 ounces or so.

Super Green Meal Replacement Smoothie Recipe

• 3 bananas, peeled
• 1 large mango, peeled and pitted
• 8 large strawberries
• 3 cups of chopped dandelion greens
• 1 head of green leaf lettuce
• 1 tablespoon ground flax seeds
• 1 scoop of hemp or rice protein powder (optional)
• 8 of ounces filtered water

Add all the ingredients except for the dandelion greens to your blender, (I use a Blendtec) and hit the “pulse” button a few times. Next, add the dandelion greens and blend on high for 30 seconds or until the smoothie is creamy.
