    I can't answer for anyone but myself why I add spinach. I add it to effortlessly get more greens, vitamins and plant based protein in my diet. Also it helps balance out the fruit sugars and keeps my blood sugar from spiking. It is true. You can't taste it. I always add a half of banana and that always covers any spinach flavor.

    Unfortunately, the banana can't fix the green color. :wink:
    Thank You for the answer... I will try maybe! ^_^

    I usually make mine with frozen fruit or fresh fruit, a banana, and some homemade yogurt. I also usually have some cubes of whey frozen in the freezer, and I'll throw 1-2 of those in as well. If I'm done with a workout, i'll throw in some protein powder as well.

    I'm trying to get into making homemade smoothies as well....

    What "type" of protein powder are you all using?

    Is it flavored or do they have some out there that's not flavored? I have some vanilla flavored, but I just keep thinking that it will throw the taste off if I'm not aiming for a vanilla flavored smoothie...
    I've been using vanilla flavored 365 brand whey protein that I got at Whole Foods.

    My morning "routine" breakfast smoothie:

    Weight Watchers Chocolate or French Vanilla smoothie mix and/or 1 scoop soy protein powder
    almond milk
    1/2 c fresh leaf spinach
    1 tsp natural peanut butter

    ****** I'm going to try adding some instant coffee grounds to go for a "mochaccino" flavor tomorrow, hopefully it turns out alright
