Going Green


The last while, we've (okay Brooklynn and I) been enjoying 'green' smoothies. I usually add a few handfuls of fresh spinach (about 3c.), a cup of water and blend. Then I throw in half a bananna, 6-7 frozen strawberries and sometimes 1/2 c. frozen blueberries. Yum. I found this recipe for groovy green smoothies. Looks pretty good.
The best benefit is knowing I've had an entire serving of greens without having to eat them!!
I once tried making Mark some chocolate milk with 2c. milk and 2 c. spinach. When it was blended I added chocolate syrup. The green color gave me away. Too bad. I thought it was pretty tasty!

I'm sure it's delicious, but I could NOT drink anything that color. I love green, but not for smoothies.

You're right. Anything green does not look too appetizing- which is Mark and Jeffrey's arguments for not consuming them. LOL But the flavor is pretty tasty!

Maybe we'll play fear factor one night & try these!
