Green smoothies aren't just for celebrating St. Patty's day! We have green smoothies almost every day. We love them! Not only are they yummy and satisfying but they are very nutritious.
Here's our little Parker Lou excited for the blender to be turned on. When her big brother presses the start button she squeals and gets so excited!
All done! Enough for her, mommy and daddy to have a glass. Price loves to make them but still won't drink them:) Picky eater stage....oh well, one day!
This morning's smoothie was dedicated to the desire for a sunny morning! Seems like most mornings these days start with clouds and rain but this smoothie makes me think I'm on the beach in Mexico. It's our Tropical Smoothie:
-About 2-21/2 cups of Almond milk (or any milk)
-handful of unsweetened coconut flakes
-1 banana
-handful of frozen mango
-handful of frozen pineapple
-2 tablespoons of ground flaxseed (good way to get a little omega 3 fatty acids into your diet)
-2 handfuls of Spinach
And there you go! I just use a standard Kitchenaide blender-we don't really mind the little bits of coconut but if you want your smoothie truly smoothie you might need to invest in a fancy machine:)
