Green smoothie shake up

I live with an autoimmune disease. It's been particularly bad lately, and I'm trying to help as much as I can through nutrition (in addition to a bunch of allopathic and complimentary medicine).

 This morning's green smoothie: Green mango lassie

1 cup frozen collard greens
1/2 ripe mango
1/2 cup whole milk yogurt
1 cup milk (or water, or juice)
Add all ingredients to your blender and mix on highest speed until smooth. Enjoy, knowing that you are filling your body with:
probiotics
fiber
vitamins A, C, K
calcium
protein
water
diindolylmethane
sulforaphane
(Note, vitamin K can modify the effectiveness of blood thinners.)
