Mint Berry Protein Smoothie

Less than 200 calories, about 8 grams of protein, totally nutritious, and very filling!

Ingredients:

1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt
1 sprig fresh mint (about 5 leaves)
Handful or so of blue berries
3 or 4 1" cubes fresh pineapple
1/2 banana
1 tbsp honey or agave

Mix without water for thicker, pudding like, mix (the banana thickens it) to eat with a spoon, or add about 1/2 cup of water to make a drink.

This was my breakfast this morning. The mint counts as a leafy green vegetable, and I also threw in a few leaves of Swiss chard for some extra green nutrition (cilantro or parsley would be good options as well).
