Have you had a green smoothie yet? They are truly my new found love! I have always been a fan of fruit smoothies, but now I have an even better excuse to drink them. First I add a cup of water (you can also add juice) and then whatever greens I want. I typically use spinach but it is great to add other greens like collard greens, kale, lettuce, etc. Then I add some frozen fruit and a couple ice cubes. I typically make these as a fast, nutritious breakfast. I am not the best at eating the recommended amount of fruits and vegetable throughout the day, so I love being able to get these nutrients in at the start of my day. I mean really, who can say they had a few handfuls of spinach and fruit for breakfast? Also, you can add less juice and substitute water. I tried just doing water at first but then I had to limit the amount of greens I added because they were so strong. So I like to add even just 4 ounces of oj and 4 ounces of water and then I can add as many greens as I want and still have a sweet, delicious tasting smoothie. You have to try one! You will see just how great they are.
