Going Green

I found this recipe for a 'Green' smoothie, and for a week now I've had one everyday - mostly for breakfast. I have found that I LOVE this smoothie! It's refreshing, good for you and not to mention delicious! (forgive the pictures, I took them with my cell phone, and it most certainly doesn't take the best pictures)



This morning as I was making my smoothie I found a little friend in the Spinach. I happen to glance upon it just as I was about to put the handful of spinach in the blender. It makes me wonder if there was anything else in there that I missed and have since consumed. Yum!...lol.

(Yup, that's a lady bug)


Here are the ingredients for those of you who are brave enough to try it.

1c. Orange Juice

2c. Spinach (fresh, not cooked)

1c. Kale (cut out the stem in the middle)

Blend until nice and greeen

then add...

1/4c. frozen or fresh Blueberries

1/4c. frozen or fresh Raspberries

1/2 of a banana

add ice to make it more "smoothie" like.

Makes 2 large glasses of delicious, healthy yummi-ness.

my friend would make me one whenever I visited her, and I loved it, but never bothered to get the recipe. Thanks! I will definately have to make one at home now.

So are you gonna be a food blogger now? Isn't it enough that you are a super talented photographer?! Sheesh, makin' the rest of us look bad with our (ok my) lack of talents... :)

I'll have to try this...those are most of the foods I'm supposed to be eating anyway minus the ladybug that is. That would've been a suprise after blending your smoothie!
