it's not really a health kick i'm on, but i am trying some new things. i've been adding spinach to my fruit smoothies and loving the fact that i know the spinach is there, yet i can't see it or taste it. for those of you who drink the truly green smoothies, i'm impressed.
i'm not there yet, but might be someday. for me, a smoothie has to taste good and look good, without chunks getting caught in my straw, or there's no way i'm drinking it.

here are some of the many ingredients i use in my smoothies. any mixture of the items below will work. the number one thing is to make sure you use frozen fruit instead of ice. a real smoothie to me, does not have ice in it. and did you know, you can freeze bananas.

yogurt {honey almond from target is my favorite}
milk {just a tiny bit if you need more liquid}
juice {i like the v-8 100% juice blends}
any fresh fruit {i love the dole snack packs in their own juice when you're in a hurry}
any frozen fruit {frozen blueberries cover up the vulgar color of pulverized spinach}
spinach {or any vegetable that you can pulverize}

blend away and enjoy
and
remember
if you have littles at home or even if you don't
leftover smoothies can be frozen in little cups and made into popsicles
