Green Smoothies

We've been sick the last two weeks (my daughter, though immunized twice, even managed to catch the chicken pox). We are are still dealing with lingering coughs and runny noses so I've been making a lot of 'green' smoothies.

I have no exact measurements, just add what you like. If your kids (or you) don't like so much greens start with just a little spinach and then add more each time as you get used to the taste.

Banana Berry Smoothie
1. Fill blender with spinach and about a cup of water/juice, blend
2. Add 1-2 kale leaves, blend
3. Add one banana, blend
4. Add frozen berries (I use blueberries & strawberries- about 1 cup each), blend until smooth

Tropical Green Smoothie (This one actually turns out green)
Follow 1-3 above (I like to use orange juice with this one)
4. Add frozen mango & pineapple (about 1 cup each), blend until smooth
(I don't know why this keeps downloading sideways, sorry.)
