Green Smoothie

A great way to eat your spinach! This is really good tasting, low cal and very healthy! I know it sounds very weird, but give it a try. My 11 year-old gives it thumbs up, too.

• Ready In: 5 mins
• Serves: 1

Ingredients

• 1 1⁄2 cups  fruit juice (I like orange-pineapple)
• 1  frozen banana, cut into chunks
• 1⁄4 cup yogurt (I use plain fat-free)
• 2  cups fresh spinach

Directions

1. (Peel the banana BEFORE you freeze it!).
2. Pour juice into a blender jar.
3. Add chunked banana, yogurt, and spinach.
4. Blend thoroughly on High.
5. Enjoy! This recipe obviously can be tweaked to your heart's content -- add other fruit, use flavored yogurt, or even add ice cream or sherbet. It's an especially good way to use fruit that's slightly past its prime.
