Tastes: Sweet, creamy, and not super healthy (but it is! it is!)
Why we love it: Spinach is a great source of iron, and this smoothie is so tasty, you hardly know it's there. Makes it a little easier to give picky eaters the veggies they need. Plus, prep and cleanup are super easy.
For each serving, you'll need:
1 cup fresh spinach
1/4 cup diced peaches in water (or 1/4 of a fresh peach)
1 medium banana, in small chunks
splash of pineapple juice
Start by pulsing just the spinach and the pineapple juice in blender until well chopped. Add remaining ingredients and blend until smooth. Enjoy!
Variations: We wait till our bananas are brown, then peel them and freeze in a ziplock bag (break into chunks before freezing) This makes for a creamy, cold smoothie. If you don't have peaches, strawberries substitute very well. Sometimes I add a scoop of whey protein powder as well, as this makes a filling meal substitute.
