I said in my last blog I would add a vegetable serving and a fruit serving to my breakfasts. I read this article about green smoothies:
Basically, it's 1/2 cup frozen fruit, 1/2 cup frozen banana slices, 1 cup of milk (I sometimes use soy milk), vanilla, and optional sweetener (I use a tsp sugar), and 1 cup of raw SPINACH. It's surprisingly good. My kids like it: I call it the Shrek shake (not my idea...but it sure sells it to the kids). If I use blue or black berries, it isn't green at all. It's the yucky color you have when you mix all the colors in play-doh.
It's hard to get in the mood for it during these cold mornings, though! I'll just have to warm up by "dancing" around my kitchen to my playlist. :-P
Oooh, I'm not brave enough yet. Maybe get there someday!
ReplyDelete(I thought your sidebar said, "flirt before breakfast." It's early."
It's really good. I can vouch for it!
ReplyDeleteI laugh that my husband LOVED his shakes...and then he caught me cramming in the spinach the other morning.
ReplyDeletehe'd had no clue it was even in there...

I still haven't tried this although I see them all over the blog world!!
ReplyDeleteThere are a million variations too--I just think it's so cool that you can HIDE vegetables with fruity flavors and get credit for them in the morning!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the mention!
I know I'm a small kid in a big kids body, and I too would drink anything called a Shrek Shake lol
ReplyDeleteNext time I definitely am going to throw in some Vanilla
Sunset smoothie: 2 or 3 chopped carrots and half a blender of vanilla yoghurt. Shake it, Baby, shake! (If you'd rather use plain yoghurt, sweeten with stevia and a pinch of cardamom.)
