Spinach in smoothies?
Replies

I add spinach in smoothies to get my veggies in and I love it, no problems with the tast at all.0

My nutritionist suggested I go with spinach or carrots in my protein shake. Frankly I didn't want my smoothie looking all green so I went with the carrots. In my smoothie, the bananas and strawberries seem win the power struggle in the flavor battle so I think using spinach would be fine. I'd just have to accept the coloration adjustment if I go with it.0

I put a lot of spinach in my "green smoothies" and it is awesome and you cant even taste it!
Green smoothie---
1-2 c spinach
1/2 cup pineapple
1 banana
1/2 cup mango
sometimes i substitute mango for pear.
a super smoothie is banana, kale, spinach, and pear.
drink for 2 weeks and you will no longer need coffee and ur skin will thank you!
i swear by this.0 -

It is not gross at all!!!! You can't even taste it. I use kale or spinach in my smoothies. I do think that you need to have a good high speed blender to make sure everything is incorporated. I just had a great one this morning. 1 cup of grapes, 1 small banana, 1 cup of kale and 1 cup of ice cubes, blend and serve immediately. If you want it sweeter throw a dried date in there too. Yummy!!!!0

I add it in... i've never done fresh spinach, but I use frozen spinach, and it turns out well. The only problem with the frozen is if your shake gets too warm, the spinach thaws and has a weird texture...0

If you do 60% fruit and 40% greens (whatever kind), you should only taste the fruit.0

I have never made smoothies, anyone know of a good blender that isn't really expensive? I would love to try this to get some veggies in my diet as I HATE all veggies other than raw carrots and cooked cauliflower and just don't eat them. So if I could really eat this and not taste it that would be fantastic!0

Oops, I forgot to add that part... I use ice and a splash of almond milk.0 -

Can someone please explain to me if it's true that you can't taste spinach in a smoothie? I have noticed lots of recipes with spinach in them and I bought a bunch today and want to try it but have this feeling it's gonna be gross lol, I need reassurance and recipes!
I put raw Spinach in my smoothies along with some other veggie and fruit items.
LOVE IT!0 -
I've never made one myself because I have a crappy blender, but a lot of my favorite premade brands like Naked have spinach, and I looooove them. If you do it right you won't taste the spinach.0

Add a banana for sweetness. Can barely taste it0

I have a fruit smoothie every morning for breakfast and if I have spinach, I toss it in. It makes it a gross color, but I don't taste the spinach at all.0
-
I add it to all of mine and can't taste it at all... promise!0
