"Green" Smoothies

This is my new favorite way to get my kids to eat their fruits and veges. Eric & Kyle are actually really good about eating fresh produce but Brandon is quite the carnivore and not very willing to eat fruits and especially veges. But my friend Liz turned me onto these "green" smoothies. You can pretty much put whatever you want in them. In this one I used frozen berries, frozen bananas, an apple, a stalk of celery and a bunch of spinach. The fruits cover up the spinach flavor enough that it still tastes sweet. I used some fruit juice that I had and also threw in a thing of Greek yogurt for added protein. But you really can throw in whatever you like.

In the end, I get a smoothie that my kids beg for and end up drinking their fruits and veges. :)
