YES!....It is a Spinach Smoothie

"Would you like to try my SPINACH SMOOTHIE?"  I usually get scrunched up faces followed by a very big YUCK!!!
{Ironically, this is not from my kids}

Well, I think you should try it and I have a recipe {of sorts} for you. 

It is by far the best thing I have come up with that the
KIDS WILL LIKE



This is what I used in this version, but you can use any berry you like, flavored yogurt or any kind of juice.

I used a personal blender here....Hamilton Beach.  I filled it with about 8oz. OJ.  Then stuffed it with two large handfuls of SPINACH

This is a half cup of raspberries.  These are more tart than most other berries.  I usually use blueberries {sweeter and less seedy}

Plain yogurt...just to give it a creamer texture.  But if you want use a sweetened yogurt like, vanilla, strawberry, etc. 



Blend Blend Blend



Now you can pour and enjoy.

{I did add unflavored fiber powder (the kids never knew) and agave nectar (I wanted it a little bit sweeter without effecting glucose levels)}

So there you have it....a great and delicious way to get more veggies in the kiddos and you....

that they'll LOVE!!!!
