Green Smoothie

This is such an amazing way to get your kids to eat tons of fruit and a lot of healthy spinach!! My kids are great eaters, but one thing that is tough to get them to eat is spinach. This is a fun and tasty drink that my kids LOVE even after I told them there was spinach in there! (Coming clean about spinach in smoothie is optional!:) Try it! You will be hooked too on this delicious green smoothie or “Frog Juice” as my kids have now named it!

UPDATE 10/31/13: I now blend my spinach with 1 cup of orange juice, omit the honey and only do 1/2 cup pineapple and 1 banana. Try it this way, or the original way…either way, you will enjoy it! 🙂

Green Smoothie (AKA Frog Juice, Frankenstein Smoothie, Hulk Juice, Monster Drink…)

4 cups fresh spinach leaves
2 cups cold water
2 ripe bananas
1 cup frozen pineapple
1/2 cup frozen mango
1/2 cup frozen peaches
1/2 cup frozen strawberries
1 tblsp honey or agave nectar (optional)

In a blender or food processor, blend spinach and water until a smooth green juice is created. Add fruit little by little until completely blended. Add honey. Blend until completely smooth. Serve in clear glasses and sit back and enjoy watching your kids eat and love spinach!
