The recipe is vegan but you could also add some greek yogurt or a plain or vanilla protein powder of your choice for more substance.

I prefer to eat my calories instead of drinking them. But I suppose if this is healthy, it'd be a great snack after a workout.

This looks great! I usually use spinach over kale in my smoothies because the kale never seems to get chopped up enough!
