Spring Green Smoothie ingredients. So good and so good for you!! Look at those gorgeous dandelions we foraged from our field this morning! The kale is wintered over. Springing back and growing. It’s going in this nutritious smoothie!

Why Dandelions? Go To this post for an in-depth talk about the many health benefits dandelions offer us! I discuss Kale health benefits here. 

Dandelions greens add lots of  nutrients to this breakfast!

Any healthy greens can be used in this smoothie, of course. But all greens offer unique properties. Go find out what’s so special about kale and dandelions. Lots Is!!

This is a rather eclectic ingredient collection of smoothie ingredients. The greens are one thing. But what about the buttermilk and kefir? The buttermilk I’m using is full fat with live cultures.This buttermilk is so sweet and mild you can drink it plain. Not many buttermilks can make that claim.

I’m also using up the last of myplain full fat kefir. Chock full of probiotic, kefir makes a ton of nutritional sense in this breakfast. I used kefir recently in my Kefir Smoothie Bowl. I’m sort of addicted to it now. My granddaughter Ellie and I enjoy kefir most mornings for breakfast with my homemade steel cut oats quinoa gravel granola and frozen blueberries. She loves the combination! So do I.  The health and flavor factor of natural grass-fed guernsey dairy products are amazing. Go find some and tell me if you agree!
