SMOOTHIES

For a sweetener you can add vanilla pudding powder.

GREEN SMOOTHIES
Really good! Would never guess there is spinach in it. Very filling. Would be prefect for a lunch or breakfast. I didn't put in the banana. You could also add flax or protein powder.

1 handful spinach
2 cups orange juice
2 cups milk
1 banana - I didn't put in
8 - 10 strawberries (can use frozen)
1/2 cup blueberries (can use frozen)
8 oz yogurt (boysenberry or blackberry the best)
1 dash sugar

Blend spinach, orange juice and milk together first.

Once the spinach has blended well, add all other ingredients and blend.

If using fresh fruit, you can add some ice cubes for more of a frozen consistency.
