Yum! We used apple juice, 2 room temp bananas, frozen bagged spinach, and a kid strawberry yogurt. My 3 girls are all loving it! Even my sweet-toothed picky 5 year old said, "mommy, this is awesome!" and they are all headed to the kitchen for 2nds!

Good recipe! I would cut the juice down to 1 cup, but I like thick smoothies so to each their own.

I added a handful of frozen cherries to my smoothie. It was very good, and like everyone has said, you can't even taste the spinach!

Perfect way to get your greens! I used a regular banana (not frozen) because it's all I had at the time. I also only used 1 cup of orange juice (cut calories/sugar/portion). It pretty much just tastes like orange juice... perfect for kids. :)

Really enjoyable. My kids didn't even realize it had spinach in it! They did think that the OJ pineapple juice was too strongly flavored, so next time I will try apple juice or white grape juice. I did cut the juice down to one cup and added some ice cubes. Some other time, I'm also going to try soy milk and increase the yogurt .... probably not at the same time!

Very tasty. Modified slightly for what I had on hand. Apple cider for my juice and cottage chese instead of yogurt (love the texture it gives smoothies). Tossed in some blueberries also. I agree with some other posters, if you like thick smoothies, decrease the juice to 1 cup, I ended up blending a few ice cubes in mine to thicken it up. This makes enough for 2 smoothies easily. Great taste and so healthy! Thanks for posting.

I really like it. My new year's resolution is to drink a smoothie everyday for breakfast with two heads of something green in it. I used Greek 2% yogurt. My banana wasn't frozen, but I'll try that when the weather gets warmer. Its hard for me to eat colder things in the winter. I used oj once and unsweetened vanilla almond milk once. I like it both ways.

This was really good; I had tried another green smoothie recipe before that was less fruity & didn't contain yoghurt, which was ok but not exactly something you'd drink purely for enjoyment! This, on the other hand, was very tasty & is something I would drink even if it wasn't so healthy!
Unfortunately I only have a handblender so I couldn't get it completely smooth, which meant my son wasn't keen as he doesn't really like drinks with "bits" in, but me & my daughter loved it. I'm definately getting a proper blender soon so I can make more smoothies that we will all like.
Have already made a few variations on the green smoothie theme as it seems such a good way to get fresh raw greens into our diets. The key to making them really tasty is to make sure you add enough sweeter stuff to balance out the greens. You can actually use any sort of greens, not just spinach, but I'd definately recommend using a good blender if you try anything tougher!

Although my 3 year old wasn't too impressed, my 1 year old twins sucked this down without taking a breath - even the baby who spits out anything I have ever given him containing spinach!!!! Thanks for the great idea!

Fantastic! I used orange juice and couldn't even taste the spinach. Was sweet enough with lowfat plain yogurt. This will definitely go into my favorite breakfasts file. What a wonderful healthy breakfast on the go! Thanks, Meredith, for sharing the recipe!
