Recipe from "Cooking with Trader Joe's Cookbook: SKINNY DISH!" by Jennifer K. Reilly, RD.
You know it’s going to be a good day when you get a serving of vegetables at breakfast. This green machine is not only naturally sweet, delicious, and a favorite among kids, but the raw greens and Very Green powder pack a powerful chlorophyll punch. Chlorophyll is a cleansing and purifying agent, and it helps relieve congestion, lower high blood pressure, strengthen blood, and even increases energy levels. Sold? Add ¼ cup protein powder (such as Organic Hemp Protein Powder, Vanilla Flavored) for an extra 4.5 grams of protein, 5.5 grams fiber, and 65 calories per serving.
