Spinach Banana Smoothie

cookin up's Note:

I recently lost 40 pounds at Weight Watchers! While there, two women were bragging about a smoothie that they had made, tried, and love. Even the meeting leader was hesitant- because the recipe sound horrible! But I tried it, and fell in love. I hope you have the courage to try this out- please let me know what you think!

This is awesome, try it!!!! Thank you so much I would never have thought of putting spinach into a smoothie. It also works well with a little pineapple thrown in and a little stevia to sweeten. I love that I can use this as a base for my normal protein smoothie. Anything can be added to this, thank you so much for sharing =)

Instead of contaminating it with dairy which is full of fat and other unmentionable nasties, why not just stick to two ingredients, banana's and spinach? I have 6 or more banana's and two large handfuls of spinach. Lots of healthy carbs and protein and it will fill you till lunch time.

Delicious and healthy! The whole family loved it. It turned out quite green but I told my little boys that we were drinking Incredible Hulk Smoothies and they thought they were great!
