Does anyone else incorporate "green smoothies" in their diet? What's your favorite? Or your opinion on them?

    on the side, or inside.

    here's a recipe for one of my favorite green drinks:

    Dead Grasshopper recipe
    1 part green creme de menthe
    1 part white creme de cacao
    1 part milk
    1 dash Aftershock® Hot & Cool cinnamon schnapps

    Shake creme de menthe, creme de cacao and milk with ice cubes in a shaker. Pour into a cocktail glass and add a dash of aftershock. Do not stir.

    YUM!

    I love my green smoothies I have one every day for breakfast you cant taste the green at all. My favorite is spinach banana and strawberries with almond milk. I have had one every day for the last 7 months and know this has contributed to a lot of my weight loss!

    Shamrock shakes are pretty awesome! Especially if you order a half shamrock half chocolate ;)
    But I also really like green smoothies!

    I use spinach, berries, pineapple and banana (I freeze all fruit) put it all in my ninja blender with a tablespoon of chia seeds and some water and its a yummy slushie!

    Because i never ate breakfast before, and this helped me to not make bad choices durring the day kept me full until lunch so I dont snack on sugar foods! And Spinach has SO many GOOD natural things and I have lost ALL of my weight since starting my green smoothies without adding any EXTRA exercise all though i recently purchased a treadmill and have started working out now!

    Sounds so delicious! Pineapple always had such a great flavor to any green smoothie! Chia seeds are awesome too! :)

    I love green smoothies. I have one several times a week. I usually put in coconut milk, spinach, parsley, celery, orange, greek yogurt, whey protein powder, and fresh chopped ginger. Delicious!

    Really, you can't taste the spinach. Spinach has no flavor when raw, it's when it's cooked that it takes on a flavor.

    I love green smoothies and have them a few times per week.

    Also, you can use leafy vegetables other than spinach if you'd like. I love spinach personally, but I get bored if I always use the same thing.
