This month I have joined a green smoothie challenge, the idea being to drink a green smoothie each day. I am ashamed to admit that I have already failed. *sob* Still, the challenge has helped me to be more intentional about something I already love, getting more greens into my family in the form of a delicious freshly blended smoothie.
I've already blogged about our favourite green smoothies here, and surprisingly those favourites haven't changed at all. I use more greens now and try to switch them up every so often, but our standard green smoothie is still spinach (lots), a couple of bananas, a cup or so of frozen strawberries, and 1/2 cup of water to help mix it all up.
Oh, and I make bigger servings now, with the little guy devouring half a glass or more and the big man finally caving and admitting that green smoothies really are delicious even though they have spinach in them. I suppose I can share my yummy goodness with these two. They're lucky I love them so much.
Health benefits and deliciousness aside, they also give the best mustaches...
...and are kid approved! Drink up!
Those pictures are precious!
ReplyDeleteIn a pinch, can you use frozen spinach? Or would that be gross?
ReplyDeleteYes, you can use frozen spinach, according to many smoothie recipes I've read. I've never tried it myself, though, so I can't vouch for any change in taste or texture.
