Spinach Smoothies

We love spinach smoothies. Depending on what we have on hand some of the ingredients include...

baby spinach leaves
frozen strawberries
frozen blueberries
frozen raspberries
canned peaches
canned pineapple
fresh squeezed lemon juice
bananas etc....

...then we add a bit of rice milk (you can use fruit juice, regular milk, yogurt etc.) and our secret ingredient...cinnamon! We blend and mmmmm!

They are so yummy and a great way to help the kids get all of that leafy green goodness. You can also make a yummy smoothie using other greens like kale, etc. But we find that spinach has the most mild taste (you don't even know it's there) and the nicest consistency (it blends right in). So if you're cruising for a new, nutritious snack, look no further. :)
