Go Green Smoothie!

This green smoothie is so delicious it's sure to become one of your family's favorites.  They'll love the sweet, crisp taste and you'll love the fact that they're guzzling down tons of raw spinach.  While this smoothie is green in color, you can't taste the spinach at all making it the perfect go-to treat for a picky eater.



Spinach is one of nature's superfoods.  It is packed with vitamins and nutrients. In fact, it has more iron than most greens and is rich in lutein, which is good for your eyesight. Additionaly, spinach has strong anticancer properties. Conventionally grown spinach is fairly high in nitrates; buy organic whenever possible. Look for spinach with brightly colored green leaves that show no signs of wilting or decay. Spinach will stay fresh in a sealed container in the refrigerator for about 1 week.

Royce was in the kitchen with me as I was making this smoothie. He could not believe that I was going to put spinach in a smoothie. He was skeptical and not even sure he wanted to try it. He took one little sip and was hooked! He kept saying, "Mom this is blowing my mind! This is 1000% delicious!" So cute.
