Have you had your Green Smoothie today?

I've been wanting to make green smoothies for a while now but I thought it would really hard to make it yummy enough for everyone in the family to drink. I copied a recipe one time and tried to share it with Brianna and she seriously gagged. 

I decided to give it another try. This time I was going to "wing it".  I put 5 whopping handfuls of spinach, 1 cucumber, some mixed berries, OJ, and flax oil in it. It was delicious! It tasted better than something from tropical smoothie. And, it got Brianna's approval. (See pics below)




Today I tried to make another one. It wasn't as good as yesterdays but it was pretty good. Philipe even said he didn't mind drinking it. He doesn't understand the whole concept but he'll drink it if I make him. ;) Hopefully, this will be an easy way to get to Bri to consume her daily veggies.

As usual, adorable photos. I love that dirty face.

I am soooooo glad you found a smoothie you like. I don't think I'd enjoy TS anymore. I didn't have my "green smoothie" today because I am drowning in fresh grapefruit juice. LOL.

This is too cute! That is awesome your little lady enjoyed that green smoothie. =) Might have to give it a try around here someday.

Happy New Year!

That's cool... I'll have to copy your newly "winging-it" smoothie recipe because if you'll give it the thumbs up I bet it'll go over well in my house too!
