Since I am not besties with any real life superheroes (although I would argue some of my friends are pretty close), I cannot tell you what said super people have for breakfast with 100% certainty...
But I am pretty sure (let's say 92%) that you will feel delightfully refreshed, satisfied, and ready to take on the day after having a superhuman (super green) smoothie for breakfast...

| Yes, I realize they are so green they almost glow! |
(Serves 2)
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup of coconut milk (I like Silk Pure Coconut Milk Vanilla)
- 1 frozen banana (if you don't have frozen bananas on hand use a regular one and throw in some ice cubes)
- 1 apple, chopped (don't bother peeling it-there is fiber in the skin)
- handful (roughly 1 cup loosely packed) kale --if you want to increase the amount of kale that's great just go a little bit at a time and taste it regularly--don't overkale yourself at the beginning
- 3/4 cup frozen mango (or frozen tropical fruit medley of your choosing)
Put it all the blender and mix it up!
Note 1: If you don't have a super powered blender you might try blending one ingredient at a time (maybe start with kale and coconut milk)...
Note 2: Depending on your prefered thickness you may go with more coconut milk
With a little less than 200 calories per serving, tons of fruits and veggies, and naturally dairy and gluten free...this sweet, creamy, treat should satisfy you without weighing you down!
Enjoy!
**As an aside my Dad mentioned that I needed a better pitch to get people to drink anything green, but I swear the flavor is tasty and not too intense at all, you will just look really tough as you sip your green breakfast....and hence you will appear to be a super tough super hero (even if you don't always feel like one).
