New favorite treat


Our new favorite treat is green smoothies. The entire family LOVES them, even little Will. I heard about this little trick with pineapple juice when I lived in Indiana and just now got the information from my friend Kathleen. (Oh how I miss parenting conversations with grad school friends!)

Our recipe:
3-4 Cups raw spinach
1-1 1/2 cup pineapple juice
1-2 bananas
ice
Just blend it all up and enjoy



Randomly, I also learned about another green recipe this week and it was just as yummy:
1/2 bunch Kale
1 cup apple juice - give or take
1 cup frozen pineapple chunks - give or take
1 Tbsp honey
1 banana
Again, blend it up for a great treat.

I was looking for this same recipe just this week! I swear we're twins separated at birth! Can't wait to try it on my kiddos.

Do you know what a bummer it is to have everyone moving away? Seriously. I miss our Wednesday afternoon playgroup SO MUCH.

And I'm trying this recipe this week. Thanks for posting it!
