Another green recipe for St. Patty’s! This is one of my favourite smoothies and I tend to have it quite often. I love my fruits and veggies, and I think of this concoction as a way to celebrate them both! Perfect for breakfast or a snack, this smoothie delivers a bevy of nutrients, plus 3 servings of produce and two servings of dairy. The green colour comes from the 2 cups of added spinach, that you can’t even taste! Don’t let the spinach stop you from making this! Believe me when I say it is tasty.
Extreme Green Smoothie
- 1/2 cup frozen banana slices
- 1/2 cup mixed berries
- 1/3 cup yogurt ( like Activia’s raspberry or prune)
- 1/2 cup 1% milk
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp ginger
- drizzle of honey if desired
Directions:
Blend banana and milk together, until all banana chunks are removed. Add in berries, cinnamon, ginger, and yogurt. When well blended, throw in spinach and honey and blend for a few minutes more until a beautiful green colour develops. Add more milk if you prefer a runnier smoothy.
Pour into a tall, iced glass and enjoy!
