This is by far the best green smoothie I, or anyone in my family has ever had! Its the favorite around here and my son just loves it! Getting greens into your children shouldn't be a chore for you or for your children. Who knew getting your greens could taste so good! Try it out for yourself and you be the judge!
Jess' Rockin' Green Smoothie
Ingredients:
Spinach
Bananas
Frozen mango
Frozen Pineapple
Fresh Orange Juice
Fresh Apple juice
Im not really one for measuring, but I use my Jack Lalane juice to juice about 4 cups of orange and apple juice, sometimes Ill throw in a cucumber to make the juice go a longer way too! If you do not have a juicer or want to omit some of the sugar, just add water instead of the juice. I do not like pasteurized juices from the store, so I won't recommend using the boxed crap. The nutrients are pretty much all gone in those juices.... I would rather just spend the 10 mins and make the juice fresh!
I have a vitamix which is awesome! High speed blenders are where it is at if you drink smoothies everyday! Expensive, yes! But worth the investment in my opinion.
I fill the vitamix with about 4 cups of spinach packed! So it loosely fills up my blender, add the juice or water, add in about 2 cups of the frozen fruit and one or two bananas. Depends on how banana-y you want it! Makes about 3-4 servings...in our house its more like 3!And there you have it! A simple, delicious way to get your greens in! Try it out on your kids today and I can guarantee you that they will love it!
