Green smoothies are definitely something worth trying. They are basically a fruit smoothie with some added spinach. I can't stand to eat spinach but when added to a smoothie, you don't even know that it is there! Spinach has a very high amount of vitamin A and C, plus a ton of other things that are good for your body. If you need away to get in your daily amount of fruits and veggies, than a green smoothie is definitely for you!
Usually I add some berries and I would definitely suggest this in the future. The smoothie I made in the video was good, but the berries make it super delicious. I would also suggest adding more milk or some yogurt to make the smoothie a little thinner (the one I made was pretty thick).
I found a recipe at Sing For Your Supper. I think it looks like a really good one. I'm going to try this recipe out next time I make a green smoothie. I'll let you know how it goes.
Green Monster Smoothie
1 banana, roughly chopped
4 or 5 strawberries
1/2 cup fresh blueberries
1 small peach, peeled and roughly chopped
1 heaping cup (or more) fresh spinach leaves, thoroughly rinsed
splash vanilla soy milk
1 tablespoon Greek yogurt
2 teaspoons honey
1/2 cup crushed ice
Place all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Serve immediately.
*this recipe makes a very large smoothie- two could easily share.
