    I don't have this for breakfast but my go to shake recipe is


    kale
    blueberries (frozen) - also gives a nice cool taste
    banana (weekend only if doing a workout)
    nuts
    tablespoon of your "superfood" mix of choice
    Cayenne pepper
    half water/half almond milk for a bit of depth

    I have a high speed blender but either way blend it well so you don't feel you are chewing the kale. Also recommend not chugging it down, let your mouth kick off the digestive process.

    About to start making smoothies. In general can I do this with a hand-held blender or do I need to invest in something more expensive/exotic?

    Hand held blender is perfect.


    I love some coconut milk in mine
