Pictured in the blender, from top to bottom:
5 ice cubes (I'll add a couple more next time)
1 1/2 cups of water
1 medium-sized Gala apple, cored but not peeled
1 cup of grapes
2 Bananas
2 handfuls of . . . . SPINACH
Yup, that's right. Fresh spinach in a fruit smoothie! And I wouldn't lie to you folks when I say it was YUMMY!
That is if you could get past the green color . . .
I'd highly recommend this to anyone -- even you veggie haters! -- as a way to get more much needed veggies and nutrients in your diet.
A BIG THANKS to Leann for showing me the green!
I just invented the above recipe; clickie the linkie for Leann's authentic recipes if you don't want to experiment like I did. Yesterday I used a cup of frozen fruit, a Dannon Light & Fit yogurt smoothie, a banana and 2 handfuls of spinach. It wasn't as green as the one today, but still delish and less intimidating.
Enjoy!
