Yummy Smoothie with Spinach
I know it sounds like it might be gross but it is REALLY good!!
I take
1 Banana, usually I stick it in the freezer for about an hour so it gets kind of cold and hard-The riper the banana the sweeter the smoothie.
1/2 cup crushed pineapple in juice OR 1/2 cup canned mandarin oranges in juice
5 ice cubes
Puree in blender until smooth, then add 1 cup of uncooked spinach and blend
You can't taste the spinach AT ALL.
It turns out to be a pretty green color, kind of looks like it should taste like mint.
If it's not sweet enough, add a packet of artificial sweetener, I use Splenda.
Perfect for on the go and it gives 2 full fruits and 1 full serving of veggies.

I agree that a green smoothie may seem unappetizing but it tastes good. I tried it the other day with bananas, berries and kale. Good way to get some kale in your diet. Requires extra blending when you add fibrous greens though.0

Hmm, I will have to try the kale version!! I have done the spinach smoothies and found them decently good. Kale has a more "green" flavour than Spinach I find, can it still be disguised in the smoothie? An experiment for this weekend0
