Dr. Mike's Detox Smoothie

My husband created this smoothie.  Some of my kids love it, others are not impressed.  That's kind of how things go around here though.  We don't get down about the whining or complaining, we keep focused on what the long term goal is.  If we make an amazing, healing, detoxing smoothie with all kinds of awesome ingredients, we suffer through the objections and force down the good stuff!  This may not be easy at first but any kid can get used to drinking green smoothies.  We just keep reminding them about what it's doing for their health.

This weekend we had a "vacation meal".  After a vacation meal, a detox drink is always a good idea!

DR MIKE'S DETOX SMOOTHIE

Ingredients:

-2 cups frozen organic strawberries
-2 cups filtered water

-1 tsp cinnamon

-5 leaves organic kale (washed and de-stemmed)
-2 scoops organic whey protein from grass-fed cows

Steps:

-Blend liquids and kale in your Vit-a-mix
-add the rest of the ingredients and blend until fully incorporated.

Serves:

-this smoothie will serve 6.
