love this shake and like to refer to it as the “Lean Green Machine.”  Because of the Kale, the shake is extremely high in both Vitamin A and Vitamin C.  To round out the protein, I often will have it with an egg-white omelet for lunch. It is packed with nutrients and is really flavorful. It is sort of like Gazpacho…but if you can imagine even healthier. It is also a great time-saver if you want to avoid making a salad.
