Green Smoothie

Maybe you have heard of the new trend of "Green Smoothies". Well...after a day of very unhealthy eating...I was inspired to try one. So I ventured to the grocery store and bought a few things...including two things I don't think I have ever bought myself before---Organic Spinach and Organic Flaxseed.

Spinach and flaxseed in a smoothie?!?! Yes...you may think its crazy...but hear me out.
This is what I put in the blender:
Strawberries, Raspberries, Banana, Orange Juice, a few ice cubes, some Flaxseed---and a handful of Spinach. I blended it all up and did the taste test---I am not at all a Spinach fan, but I couldn't taste it at ALL...so I added more, and then even a bit more. Seriously it was all green and I couldn't taste the Spinach because of all the fruit and juice. So there ya have it. My new attempt at being healthy.

This isn't my picture but this is about what my smoothie looked like--except a little more brownish green.

Try it, I dare ya.

  1. YUM! I love green smoothies. I just did a radio interview today, and I shared one of my favorites: mango, spinach, water, cinnamon, ice. YUM!

    Don't green smoothies just rock?!
