You don't need anything else to make this a balanced meal. With a boost of kale for greens, banana and coconut for fruity sweetness, quinoa as a whole grain and pistachios for protein, this is a breakfast option you and your kids can both agree on.

1 cup kale, packed
1 frozen banana
1/2 cup cooked quinoa
2 Tablespoons unshelled pistachios
1 tablespoon unsweetened shredded coconut
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 packet stevia (optional)
Directions
1. Cook and refrigerate quinoa beforehand.
2. Combine the kale and milk in a high powered blender and blend until completely smooth.
3. Add the pistachios and coconut and blend thoroughly.
4. Add in the quinoa and blend until smooth. Blend in remaining ingredients (taste before adding stevia). Serve immediately.
