Thank you for your recipe!
I love our smoothies but I can't eat something that looks like..processed spinach so I just eat spinach in my salads instead. It's much more appetizing.
Once in a while we add a 25 calorie hot chocolate packet to fruit smoothies. It tastes better than ice cream!
We also use the nonfat, no sugar Greek Yogurt and don't use sugar but ripe bananas instead. Not that we fear sugar or sweeteners! We just prefer the taste of the ripe bananas. I buy them in bulk, let them ripen, peel, slice and put the chunks on parchment paper on a cookie sheet. Freeze them solid and place them in ziploc bags. Then we toss them in the smoothie machine with the other frozen fruit. Yummy!0 -
Anybody use wheatgrass anymore? Is there any benefit to it?0

I was going to try this before but wanted to know if the blender chops it up enough that you don't have chunks in there??? Silly question but I have never used spinach in a blender before....
ETA: Would it taste good in a protein shake??0 -
