Avocado, Kale and Spinach Protein Shake

Three green smoothies in different glasses sit on a textured surface with ice cubes scattered around. Surrounding the green smoothies are two whole kiwis, a halved kiwi, kale leaves, and a halved avocado with the seed intact. A striped straw is in one smoothie. MyFitnessPal Blog

Protein shakes are an easy way to drink a hefty serving of leafy, green vegetables while disguised as a creamy green shake. This one is just sweet enough from the banana and kiwi while also deliciously creamy from the yogurt and avocado.
