Green Smoothie!

Okay now....stop scrunching up your nose and judging my smoothie.  I'd bet money you haven't even tried it yet!  If you mix 'em right, they actually taste fruity-liscious.  Aaaaannnnnnnd, they're power packed with more nutrition than most of us get in a week.  Try this one on for size:

Peaches
Pineapples
Mangoes
Hearty handful of baby Spinach
Splash of orange juice to loosen it up

Throw it all in a blender and, voila!

If you're a big chicken and just can't seem to get past the color, trade out a couple of the fruits for blueberries and dark sweet cherries and....

Try a little plain, non-fat greek yogurt too for some protein.

My friend Elizabeth recently convinced me to trade out the sugar heavy OJ for plain water.  You really don't lose that much sweetness and you up the health factor considerably.  I'm on to trying all kinds of fruits now and moving in to trying some more veggies.

Now go!  Go blend up some spinach-y goodness and if you try it and STILL have a scrunched up nose, pour in some vanilla vodka and blend a little more.  VV fixes everything.
