Skinny Shake: 3/4 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk, 15 ice cubes, 1/3 banana, 1/2 tsp vanilla, 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder, 2 tsp Splenda or sweetener of your choice. Blend until smooth.  Makes two 8 oz servings. Taste like a Frosty from Wendy's. 

35 cal. 9 g carbs. 1 g protein

Kale Chips: Fresh Kale cleaned and dried.  Cut or tear off the stalk into bite sized pieces and place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.  Spray lightly with olive oil spray and dust lightly with salt. Place in a 350 degree oven for about 10 min or until the edges start to brown and they start to crisp.  It's like eating potato chips without the badness. 

1 cup serving is 58 cal. 7.6 g carbs. 2.5 g protein. 

I admit its a little high in the carb count but worth the change from grilled chicken and salad.

Yes, a bit low on the protein.  More of a snack than dinner but tonight I wasn't really all that hungry.  A couple of months ago I would never had said that.  I love my sleeve.

Adding some protein would make it better.

I love that shake, but I add a scoop of Unjury to get in my protein.

Silly question- what does kale taste like? I see so many people use it to cook with or to snack on, but I have never had it before!
