Happy St. Patty’s Day! Even if you’re not wearing green today, you should be getting your greens in. One of my favorite ways is with this Matcha Kale Smoothie. It. Is. DELICIOUS!

Plus, it’s loaded with protein (thanks to the kefir, milk and protein powder) and nutritious superfoods–like kale, kefir and green tea matcha. And this smoothie works any time of the day… breakfast, post-workout refuel or after school snack. Enjoy!
