I know what you are thinking, but they really are delicious! We eat these for breakfast several times a week and we love them. LOVE them.
Spinach Smoothies
3 cups fresh washed spinach (I buy the pre-washed kind in the big box from Costco)
1 cup frozen blueberries
4 frozen strawberries
1 frozen banana
1/2 cup vanilla soymilk
1/2 cup juice, any flavor (or 2 Tbsp frozen juice concentrate and 1/2 cup water)
Put ingredients in the blender in this order. Blend until nice and smooth. You may have to add a bit more liquid and you may have to stop the blender to push the frozen stuff down once the spinach is ground up.
It turns a nice purple color and you absolutely can not taste the spinach. Nice way to get iron! I always double the recipe and it makes enough for my husband and I to each have a tall glass of it and for the kids to have small straw cups of it. Then we eat 1-2 pieces of fruit and are filled until lunch. I love smoothie days because my kids are getting a very healthy breakfast and don't beg me for food an hour later.
Enjoy!
