Budget Power Shake
Recipe
Summary
I love my morning shakes but I find you go through the ingredients quite fast so the cost can add up... Here is a way to save $$$$. I like to purchase the fruit on sale, day old, packaged up and usually $0.99 for a bunch, like pears or peaches, whatever is in season. Wash, cut up and freeze... Also, I purchase bulk flax seed and grind for every shake.. I like to use kale or spinach and will buy on sale, wash and freeze..
Recipe Story
I like to experiment with fruit and use a combination of apples, pears, oranges, mixed berries - variations of sweetness....
Notice I did not use protein powder - the greens provide it all...no need, these greens are almost 50% protein!

I've never used kale or spinach in a shake. Although, I tend to be more of a smoothie fan (I like the sweetness). Will have to give this a try.
You will need to play with the amount used etc., it may be a shock from a smoothie ( which I love too ) but, I like the taste and just think how healthy it is..
enjoy! let me know if you like it!
