Green Smoothies
I love smoothies; I even have a previous post about them. So I have been trying to be more adventurous with what I put in them lately and I have to say, I am a huge fan of green smoothies. They are an easy way to get a couple servings of fruits and vegetables. The green color is a little off-putting but if you can get over that, then you should definitely give these a try! Some people say that it's more filling to eat your vegetables in their regular form but not everyone enjoys the taste. With these smoothies, I promise you cannot taste the spinach at all. You are welcome to experiment with whatever fruits you want. I use strawberries (I buy the pints in bulk and then cut them up and freeze them so I use a whole pint at a time but you probably don't need that much), yogurt (I use regular but lots of people prefer greek) any flavor, orange juice ( I don't have this on hand, nor do I have oranges so I use sunny D), and half a bag of spinach (or a couple handfuls. You'd be surprised how much you can use without even tasting it). That's it! Of course you could add flax seed or protein powder or anything you want. I love that smoothies are so versatile and so easy to make!
