    I made a quick and simple Green smoothie this morning, but love the new ideas!

    Mine was (and is my go-to):
    1 c Vanilla Light Soy Milk (I've used cow milk and almond milk too)
    1/2 c Vanilla 0% Greek Yogurt
    1c mixed frozen fruit (usually use frozen banana, but didn't have on hand)
    2c baby spinach

    I've heard in the past that wilting the spinach before blending brings out more nutrients...does anyone know if that's true? If so, how do you go about doing that quickly? Do you need to do that with other greens, like kale?
