Ingredients:
- spinach leaves, two big handfuls
- banana, one
- blueberries, one handful
- orange juice, about 1/2 cup
- skim milk and/or vanilla low-fat yogurt, about 1/2 cup (I did a bit of both)
- honey (optional)
- ice, about 5-6 cubes
- Blend until smooth.
- Don't look too closely at the smoothie's color. . .trust me.*
- Enjoy!
This summer, I am committing to eat healthier, lose weight, exercise more, and all that jazz, and one of the ways I'm trying to do that is with homemade smoothies. (My poor blender's been getting a workout!) I just made this one for dinner tonight, and it was fabulous! I wanted to pin it on Pinterest, but couldn't since there wasn't a photo (I soon realized why: blueberries and spinach make a horrible color combination). Anyway, I'm posting it on here so I can access this recipe again! It had a wonderful, sweet, creamy flavor (which I prefer) without being too tart (which is what Scott prefers) or spinachy. The website didn't give any specific amounts, so I just approximated and listed what I used.
*Note: Normally, Scott is more than willing to sample my smoothie concoctions, but one look at this one, and he passed.
