This is my new favorite breakfast lately! I kind of made it up and have been adjusting a little as I go. My newest addition is the spinach. You don't even taste it (proof- my son didn't) and it only changes the color a little.
I thought I was doing great with this smoothie until I entered the recipe into Spark People. There are quite a few more calories and fat than I expected. Now I know that I will only drink half of this smoothie from now on. My son can drink the rest.
1 banana
3/4 cup (about) lowfat/fat-free yogurt or kefir
4 cubes of ice
1 ounce almonds
1 tbsp milled flax seeds or chia seeds
1 tsp dark chocolate cocoa powder

1 handful of baby spinach

Your smoothie sounds scrumptious! I've been making a lot of smoothies and using kale with a mix of fruits in mine. I should check out my calorie count...I've been thinking it's low-calorie but it may not be.
