Met The Minimum & Today's Green Smoothie

February 4th, 2012 at 05:59 pm

I met the $500 purchase minimum on the Citi Dividend card yesterday when I got the girls hair cut. I even went about $20 over. Now to pay it off, and wait for the statement to cycle be awarded my $200!

I did make my smoothie for lunch today. This recipe made about 16oz and equalled 254 calories. I might need a little more for lunch, but right now I'm full!

1c vanilla almond milk
1c kale
1T peanut butter
1/2c frozen raspberries
1T chia seeds

Have you tried chia seeds? Very bland, but high in Omega 3's and has more antioxidants than blueberries. Sixty calories per tablespoon. Oh, and they are suppose to be good for staying hydrated!

    I haven't tried Chia seeds yet but it's on my list. I had my smoothie after my Zumba workout and it hit the spot!

    I'm very intrigued by the kale and spinach you are adding. Does it effect the taste much?

    My normal soy smoothie is a scoop of soy protein, a cup of soy milk and a cup of frozen fruit, generally berries. I'm open to adding in some green stuff to pack in more nutrients depending on what is does to the overall taste.

    @ERJ, I would say it does change the taste, but if you have fruit in a larger quanity it will dominate. Today's smoothie with just kale and less fruit was more noticeable. I would suggest romaine lettuce when you are first trying a green smoothie. I would pick spinach next and finally kale.
