Green Smoothie

I have always heard about these "green smoothies," but never took the time to make one and see if I liked it. My Aunt Peggy is a health nut and has raved about green smoothies, particularly by Green Smoothie Girl. I had seen some recipes for these smoothies on Pinterest and decided to try one out.

We loved it! My husband thinks we should eat these for dinner for a month...I'm not sure I could do that, but we will see. They are so healthy and actually taste really good.

Here is what you'll need:
Yield: 2-3 servings
-1 banana, cut into chunks
-1 cup chopped frozen pineapple
-1 pear, coarsely chopped
-1½ cups orange juice
-2½ cups baby spinach leaves, rinsed and dried
-1-2 tbsp. honey

Put everything into a blender or food processor and mix until blended well.
Pour it into a glass and enjoy!
I love the green color! Might freak some kids out, but I think it looks yum!
(Please excuse the iPhone pics...my camera was charging for a photo shoot).

We definitely plan on making these again and again. We will change it up some I'm sure.
You could add flax seed to these if you wanted.
I plan on seeing what else I can add to it to make a little heartier if we do plan on having them as a dinner meal.

Try them out and let me know what you think!
