I have always wondered about green smoothies. They look interesting but I have never tried one. Since we have a problem getting all our fruits and veggies in I thought this would be a good idea. This smoothie calls for 1 cup yogurt, 1 apple, 1 banana, 2 handfuls of spinach, 5 strawberries and 1/2 and orange. That is way more fruit and sometimes veggies then I EVER eat in one day.
I tried this on Sunday and split it with Brandon. I thought it was really yummy but my blender didn't do a very good job mixing everything so the small bites of spinach in it weren't that great!
I made another one tonight and this time I used the blender on my Bosch and it worked way better. I blended everything for about 2 minutes and it was smooth with no spinach pieces in it. :)
I also decided to put my smoothie in the freezer for a little while so it was nice and chilled and it made it so much yummier!!
I know on the pin it says if you drink these everyday that the weight will just fall off. Since I just drank my first one 2 days ago I don't know if that part of the pin is true and that wasn't way I tried it in the first place but I can however say that this is a very yummy green smoothie that will help you get more fruit and veggies in each day. I know there are several varieties to green smoothies that incorporate more veggies and I plan to find one of those and try it next.
LOVE IT!!!
