Delicious and easy to prepare the night before for a breakfast on the run - that is in the car or once I get to work. I'm always glad of another smoothie recipe, so that I can vary them. With summer fruits so delicious right now this was great. I used a low-fat yoghurt, which I use only in smoothies: otherwise it's Greek yoghurt and as a baby spinach lover just had to include those. They certainly ensure some added nutrition. This was delicious but next time I make this I'm going to follow DuChick's suggestion and add some flax seeds and maybe also one of my favourite additions - for added nutrition and textural variation - some sunflower seeds. Thanks for sharing, **Mandy** and dd! Made for Gimme 5.

Hats off to your aspiring young chef, Mandy! She knows what she's doing! I found this combination very refreshing and had the perfect amount of sweetness. I didn't peel the nectarine and added a tablespoon of milled flax seed for extra fiber. Also used FF vanilla yogurt. No trace of the spinach showed in this deep purple healthy treat. Thanks Mandy and DD!

Melbourne I live on a 5 acre property in the Dandenong Ranges Victoria, Australia, having moved from the burbs when I became pregnant with my now 15 year old daughter Alyssa.
Once my daughter was born I became a stay at home mum as I couldn't bear the thought of putting her in daycare. She is the light of my life, I never imagined myself as a mum when younger but now wouldn't have it any other way. Alyssa was made a big sister on the 19th April 2010 when our cheeky little boy Blake was born. I love cooking and experimenting with new recipes so quickly become addicted to Zaar as it was previously known & still use it regularly. In addition to being my kids taxi :lol: I also spend my time, reading, gardening and of course shopping. I'm lucky enough that we have the space & so love growing our own fruits, vegies & herbs, this also means we have plenty of room for animals & at the moment have 2 dogs, Max, a Jackshund who's 6, Fletcher, a Kelpie who's 4, 6 cats Snowpea, Fergus, Ginger, Tango, Annie & Cookie, 4 chooks & 2 Ducks.
As well as our pets, we also have a lot of native animals around our area, we have kangaroos, wombats, echidna's, possums as well as rosella's, galah's & Cockatoo's hence the name of where I live..
