Mean Green Smoothie
An everything-but-the-kitchen-sink smoothie that packs a healthy punch with kale, avocado, almond milk, and dates. How did this concoction come about? One day, I opened my fridge, took out everything that was green and blended it up with dates and almond milk. Pretty good, I must say. I make one of these smoothies at the beginning of the week — pour myself one serving and dose the rest into ice cube trays, ready to be buzzed up at a moment’s notice.This recipe first appeared on altonbrown.com.
