The "Green Monster" drink.



   Seriously...if you haven't tried, you have to at least once! Took me long enough to just convince myself to just do it and now I love this drink.  Most important...it is healthy, and my girls will drink this!!!! The only green thing they will touch.
 
   I don't have  a specific recipe. Here's what I have on hand that I use:  kale, spinach, frozen strawberries, frozen banana slices, apple pieces, and orange juice.  Basically I take a handful of kale, then some frozen strawberries, bananas (cut and freeze, my daughter likes frozen banana pieces for snacks too), then a handful of the spinach, topped with apple pieces and orange juice--about a half a cup? or more.  then blend...and enjoy! soo good.

   You can literally put whatever you want and find a flavor you like. Sometimes I'll add frozen raspberries, then I've heard of people putting celery in there, and of course there are tons of recipes for this drink online.  I do want to try some mango in there...yum.   Just try it!

I want to try this! Will a blender chop the spinach and kale enough not to have chunks? Are you using orange juice made or just the frozen concentrate not made up?
