Blueberry Kale Smoothie (paleo)

So yes... yes I will admit it.. I am on a diet.. ok. Not a really real DIET.. but just a diet.  However, it is working. I am down over 25 lbs now. Some of that I am sure is because I am supplementing my not diet with minerals that we all need. Because none of our fruits and veggies have the minerals that they used to, so supplements are the only way to get them. I read a study that suggested 90% of all Americans are mineral deficient and that is what causes a LOT of the problems we have today. I was a daily sufferer of headaches, and also the occasional migraine.  After taking the minerals for just a couple weeks I have not had any more headaches AT ALL.. and then I cold turkey stopped drinking coffee (and I am .. was.. a pot and sometimes 2 pots of coffee a day drinker) and I did not get even one headache from the caffeine withdrawals.
But anyway, that is not the topic of this post. (however if you want to know what minerals I take, get with me, or message me and I will let you know.)

The reason for today's post is the YUMMY smoothie I made for my lunch today. I am not much of a smoothie person, but on this diet I just feel like I am eating ALL THE TIME.. and sometimes I cannot finish. I eat approximately every 2-3 hours. SO I decided to just wing a smoothie to try and get everything into it that I would eat for my lunch.  Today's lunch needed to have a fruit, veggie, protein & healthy fat (and sometimes grain) but no grain in my smoothie today.

Ingredients
1 cup frozen blueberries
1/4 cup walnuts (protein and healthy fat)
6 BIG pieces of kale ( I had a variety of kale, from my garden. But its all still kale)
1/4 cup coconut water
1 to 1 1/2 cups water
few drops of liquid minerals (I incorporate them into nearly every liquid I drink all day long.)


Throw all of the above into the blentec and hit "smoothie".  And once it was nice and smooth, my daughter and I just drank it down.. It was great. I got everything except a grain for my lunch, and didn't have to take half hour to eat it. And even better, it was really really good.. My daughter wanted more. Couldn't get the boys to try it, but that's ok as it left more for me and my girl..
