Green Smoothies

I've read about these here but never tried them until my sister Nic said they were good. Now I'm hooked! Basically you just add spinach to a fruit smoothie with yogurt or cottage cheese. You really can't taste the spinach, and I seem to eat healthier the whole day if I drink one of these for breakfast. I think it keeps me full for a long time.

Here's what I put in today. Spinach, cantaloupe, blueberries, peaches, yogurt, orange juice, and a couple little oranges. It was yummy!

Simple Smoothie

Recipe from www.eatbetteramerica.com

1 cup frozen organic strawberries (I didn't use organic)
1/2 cup orange juice (calcium-enriched) or skim milk (I used orange juice)
2 containers (6 oz. each) Yoplait key lime pie yogurt

Place all ingredients in blender. Cover & blend on high speed about 1 minute or until smooth.

Pour into 2 glasses. Serve immediately.

This was pretty good, but very tart. A nice change from regular smoothies. It was thicker than I imagined as well. I'll make it again!
