Kale

Sounds bizarre, but kale is quite yummy in a blender with the right foods. Paired up with some simple fruits, the leafy green takes on the flavor of the berries and bananas while bringing in loads of iron, fiber, calcium, and other nutrients that help prevent cancer. If you're not fond of fruity flavors, try a meatier and spicier tomato based smoothie.

If you want to add flax seed and chia to your shakes, there is a great flax seed and chia blend called Fitflax htTp://www.fitflax.com It's delicious, and a great source of omega-3s. Flax seeds are also a great weight loss food, high in fiber, protein and minerals. In the mornings, I'll add it to shakes or mix it into Greek yogurt and berries. Throughout the day I'll add it to salads or just eat it as a healthy filling snack.
