As promised... green smoothies.

Our new favorite treat ... green smoothies. The boys LOVE them. They want one everyday and with 2 servings of fruit and 2 servings of veggies in the 15 oz size .. why not incorporate the health with a milkshake taste. Ours are actually healthy -or so my dietician says! I got the recipe from a friend online and we gave it a try...

the recipe....

1/2 cup ice
1/2 cup water
1/4 OJ (we use pine-orange-banana juice)
1/2 banana
2 cups spinach
any other serving of fruit you want

Blend on liquify. You can also add protein powder or flaxseed and you won't taste it.

The smoothies above is the recipe doubled -feeds all 3 of us! Todays smoothie was peach (with skins on) banana. Jack's favorite smoothie is peach bannana blueberry and Steven's is strawberry bannana.

Steven says (and I quote) "they look really gross, but the look isn't the same as the flavor. they rock!"
Jackson says (also a direct quote) "they're good. They look disgusting, but are very, very, very yummy."

So try one and let us know what you think!
