Blueberry Banana Kale Shake

This shake is a powerhouse of plant-based nutrients. Similar to the other shakes on our site we focus on the nutritional content, because we want you getting your body starting off on the right fuel.

The ingredients of this shake are loaded with various antioxidants, phytonutrients, fiber and natural sugar. As well, generous amounts vitamins A, E, C, K, B6, iron, potassium, phosphorous, calcium, magnesium, manganese and zinc. The flax and chia are rich in omega-3 fatty acids and polyunsaturated fats. Avocados are rich in monounsaturated fats, and also contain polyunsaturated and saturated fats. Fat is needed for the absorption of the fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E & K). Drink this up, guilt free!
