green smoothies

in an effort to try and get more leafy greens into our diets, i've been experimenting with green smoothies. i read about it online and was very skeptical but figured it couldn't hurt.

so i got a bunch of berries, bananas and spinach and blended it all in the blender and you know what? it was pretty good! everyone ate/drank them and didn't notice the spinach at all. i think we'll do this again!

we used:

frozen raspberries
frozen pineapple
a banana
ice and water
2 handfuls of baby spinach (from a bag)

mix the spinach with water first and get it almost like liquid. then add your other stuff and really, it tastes great! i have a bunch of fresh berries too and will be trying those with more ice...

a nice, different, refreshing summer drink that is actually healthier than the "burritos" (Doritos) that Jack keeps asking for...
