This seems to be a new trend in smoothies and I have seen a couple blog entries similar to this, but anyway... We love smoothies and have jumped on the green smoothie bandwagon. They taste just the same as normal fruit smoothies, but add the benefits of fresh spinach.
This one for example is a blend of frozen banana, frozen blueberries, fresh strawberries, and skim milk. Then I add spinach to the top and blend it. Then when the spinach is chopped up I fill it one or two more times and repeat. Sometimes it literally is green depending on what fruits you use. Lots of blueberries in this one.
This is not a joke, it is delicious. These photos were taken with dinner, but it works for breakfast too. So, what did you have for breakfast today? "Spinach!" The kids think it is hilarious.
And, while I am on the food subject-
A couple more favorite simple healthy snacks.
Peanut Butter Banana smoothie- 1 frozen banana, a spoonful of PB, and skim milk- tastes like dessert!
Microwave cinnamon apple- slice an apple, put it in a bowl, cover it with a cup of water, sprinkle cinnamon on top and cook 3 minutes! Yum!
