Green Smoothies!

YUM!

I have a hard time getting in enough leafy greens each day ~ I don't eat salads much unless someone makes it for me. Just one of those weird things, I guess. But someone told me this idea to get those greens in and it is SO easy and really really yummy! I have been drinking at least one a day for a week now. Here is how I make it:

8 oz Apple juice
1 or 2 handfuls of fresh baby spinach
frozen strawberries
fresh banana

Blend all together in the blender until smooth and pour!

It comes out looking green, because of the spinach, but you only taste the fruit. You can use pretty much any kind of fruit or juice that you like and it is WAY less expensive, and as good tasting as "Super Food."

Next I am going try adding plain flavored protein powder to it, to make it a more complete meal for breakfast. I am hoping it wont change the flavor too much. I'll let you know!

I love green smoothies. You're right, such an easy way to get in more greens, nutrients, energy, etc without having to eat a gazillion salads :)

Cheers,
Kristen
