My favorite smoothie

1/2 banana

1/4 cup blueberries or strawberries

1 cup plain Kefir*

1 Tlbsp. Nutritional yeast** 

1 Tblsp. flax meal

2 Tlbsp. Nut butter  (whatever kind you like)

Notes:

*Either drinkable  yogurt like https://greenvalleylactosefree.com/product/lactose-free-plain-kefir, or a vegan version made from Cashews https://www.foragerproject.com/blog/organic-dairy-free-probiotic-cashewgurt/  The benefit of the dairy version is extra protein (11 grams vs. 3 grams)  and calcium. (380 mg. per serving)

** I like Bobs Red Mill Brand

Optional:

 A hand full of greens (kale, spinach, arugula, etc.), and grated ginger. Ginger helps with nausea.
