I am a spinach snob. If the leaves aren't perfect (and relatively small), I won't eat it. I waste a lot of fresh spinach. So today I figured I'd save some of those unappealing leaves and throw them into my next smoothie. I googled spinach smoothies and found this one (which I altered a little only because I didn't measure anything out!). I liked this...in fact, Allison liked it too!! I'm also having it again for breakfast tomorrow, so that's always a good sign! And nothing beats getting several servings of fruits and vegetables in at breakfast!
1 banana
a big handful of spinach leaves
1/2 cup frozen blueberries
1/2 c non-fat vanilla yogurt
splash of skim milk
Combine all ingredients, and blend until smooth. Serve with a straw so you don't walk around all day with little bits of spinach and blueberries in your teeth. Even if you do drink it with a straw, I'd still suggest carrying a compact mirror with you just in case.
