Creamy Kale Smoothie
Serves 2/ Prep time: 10 minutes
Kale is often used in smoothies for its nutrition profile and the fact it can combine well with many different ingredients. Kale can help fight cancer, supports cardiovascular health, and reduces inflammation in the body. You can use kale raw, but cooking this fabulous green lightly boosts its health benefits. For example, steamed kale lowers cholesterol levels more than raw.

Finding an acceptable extract can be a matter of personal taste as well as trial and error. If you can find banana extract powder, created from dehydrated or freeze-dried banana peel and fruit, you might be more pleased with the taste.

Vanilla Bean Smoothie
Serves 2/ Prep time: 10 minutes
Coconut oil has reached super food status in the last few decades after spending years on the do-not-eat list for many healthy diet enthusiasts. The high saturated fat content of this oil was linked erroneously with heart disease until it was reported that ⅔ of the saturated fat in coconut oil is a medium chain fatty acid (MCFA) MCFAs are easily digested and are converted by the liver to energy rather than stored as fat.
Under 30 Minutes, One Pot
1 cup almond milk
½ avocado
2 tablespoons egg white protein powder
1 teaspoon coconut oil
Seeds from 1 vanilla bean
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 cups ice cubes
1. Put the almond milk, avocado, egg white powder, coconut oil, vanilla bean seeds, and cinnamon in a blender and pulse to blend.
2. Add the ice and blend until smooth and thick
3. Pour the smoothie into 2 glasses and serve.
Try Instead: Vanilla beans add a rich, pure flavor to recipes, but if you do not have these shiny dark beans on hand, you can use 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract instead. Make sure you purchase pure vanilla extract instead of artificial to get the best results and no bitter
