Happy Wednesday! So, I was so excited for my very first What I Ate Wednesday post! This saturday I photographed my entire day of food (it was pretty good I won’t lie) then what happens? I totally forget my camera and cord to load my photos into my computer. Wha wah wahhhhhh
Oh well! Luckily I have been meaning to post this smoothie recipe for ages and since I had it for breakfast this morning I’m doing a special edition of WIA(for breakfast)W !
I have this smoothie at least a few times a week for breakfast. It is packed with nutrition and so yummy! I even make them for my husband! He was skeptical at first, what with the green color and all, but now loves them! I really wasn’t lying when I told him you can’t taste the spinach at all in this smoothie, but you still get all the nutritional benefits – score!
Looks like the start to a delicious smoothie huh?!
Trust me on this one. Try it once and you’ll be hooked!
I use pretty much the same recipe, but it is definitely something you can (and should!) make your own with whatever fruit you like!
Super Healthy Green Smoothie (makes 2)
5 cups spinach
2 big scoops vanilla protein powder
1 T ground flaxseed
1/2 cup frozen mango
1 banana sliced
1 1/2 cups unsweetened almond milk
Blend until smooth, add a straw, and you are ready to take on the day! Enjoy! 
Oh and don’t worry, I’ll post my original WIAW post next week!

Hubby LITERALLY just asked me to find something to use flaxseed in. Found it!! Apparently we have a lot on hand. Thankfully. I am a smoothie addict, and this one sounds perfect!

Sounds like the most delicious blend ever. I’ll have to get some frozen mangoes!
P.S. Congrats on your first WIAW!

Thanks! I’m so excited:) So much fun! Frozen mangos are totally my smoothie trick! I swear you could throw the kitchen sink in there and the mangos are so flavorful it would still taste good:)

I love green smoothies! I just got a new blender and have been making them like crazy lately. Frozen mango is such a great addition!
