going green

 I have been on the green smoothie band wagon for about 2 months now.  If you haven't tried one, you need to.  I have one every morning, and I feel like I can eat all the junk I want just because I had such a healthy breakfast.  Probably not the best approach, but whatever.

 

In my blender I mix:

1 banana

1 apple (peeled and cored)

1/2 C frozen peaches

1 C fresh spinach

1 C kale

1/2 C yogurt

a spoonful of OJ concentrait

 1 C cranberry juice, or water 

Mix it up real good, then add about 5 ice cubes and mix again.

Once you get over the fact that you are drinking something green, they are pretty addicting.  I don't even notice the taste of the greens.

I tried a sample in Costco where they had added in 1/2 a lime (peeled).  It was amazing.  I tried it at home, and the lime core didn't blend enough, so it was a little too chunky for me.

The best part is that Bradley loves them too!
