The morning commute superfood shake/smoothie/chewy goodness in a cup. I, unfortunately, find myself having to consume my breakfast while on the road in the morning for the few days of the week that I work outside the home. I also have to wait 30-60 minutes after taking my morning medication before eating which also delays when I'm able to easy my breakfast. This "incredible hulk" colored breakfast was a creation I crafted last night and am still working my way through this morning (it's super filling).
1. I juiced 12 big leaves of kale... then in the blender I added
2. 1 cup vanilla greek yogurt
3. 1/2 cup pineapple
4. 1/2 cup coconut milk
5. 1 plum
I then poured it into my cup and stirred in...
6. 3 T. Chia seeds.
The chia seeds will swell/hydrate over night so if you don't care for them when they bulk up then you may want to concoct this right before drinking it. But the chia seeds give you something great to chew on which is what helps make this do satisfying.
Enjoy!

P.S. I did a quick nutrition analysis of the smoothie. I used a recipe calculator I found on caloriecount.about.com. It's very easy to use and free, but it seems that it underestimated the calorie content of the greek yogurt. I would actually estimate there was more like 150+ calories coming from the yogurt, but it does show what a nice blend of high fiber carbohydrate, healthy fat, and protein this blend was.
