Smoothie...mmmm

If you prefer to drink all your calories (like Leo) you may like this smoothie that we often make at our house.  It's about the only way that Leo and Adam get anything green in them every week.  It's a super easy recipe--the trick is having all the ingredients on hand on the same day, especially the banana to the desired ripeness.
Berry Smoothie:
1 c orange juice
1 container yogurt (we usually use peach or strawberry)
1 banana
giant handful of spinach
1 c frozen triple berry mix
 We've also tried kale, but it has more of a flavor whereas you can't even taste the spinach.  Bottoms up!

Hey! We are smoothie buddies!!! I have one every morning and now Sam has started joining me because he can't chew anything with his new braces. Here's my smoothie: 1/2 cup OJ, 1/2 cup water, fill up the blender with kale or spinach, blend, add 4-5 frozen strawberries & about 1/3 cup frozen blueberries. Blend again. Ta da! AND this morning I put 1/2 cup rolled oats in it (google "green thickies") and it wasn't half bad and kept me full longer. I know you wanted to know all about my smoothies! And now you do! :)
