A Green Smoothie for M…

By Estela - Weekly Bite, March 2, 2011 6:50 am

I did it…

I made my kid a green smoothie.

M’s a big fan of smoothies & I’m a big fan of green smoothies. Anything that contains 3 cups of raw spinach and tastes like banana’s and honey sounds good to me.

Yesterday I was a having a major green smoothie craving and knew a certain someone would be begging for one of her own. Here’s everything that went in the mix…

  • 1 frozen banana
  • 1/2 frozen avocado
  • 1 sliced pear (or any fruit of your choice)
  • 3 cups raw spinach
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1/2 cup milk (I used soy milk)

*note* if you use fresh banana & avocado add 1 cup of ice to the mix

I thought she’d turn her nose up to the green color…. but no…

If mommy was drinking it she had to have it too…

I think its safe to say this kid’s a fan.

She drank it up… green color an all.

Now if I can just get Mr. Weekly Bite to drink one.

He refuses to give into the green smoothie trend ;)
